Five years ago, a young boy took his first trip down into the basement, facing the endless threats below to escape from the murderous delusions of his loving mother. Three years later, he found himself facing the same predicament but with an even greater plague of horrors and peril. Very shortly afterward, a modest few among us decided that even this was not enough. In the two years since then, fate has worked tirelessly to place by far the most fearsome challenge yet in his path. This time, Isaac faces our free The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth expansion, Antibirth. So what exactly is in store for him?
2 new characters with unique playstyles
90+ new collectible items to help Isaac fight
18+ new trinkets to swap and strategize with
80+ new enemies to face one after another
16+ new bosses to kill or be killed by
4000+ new rooms to explore and survive
A new secret final chapter for Isaac to endure
Bigger and greater secrets than ever before
Several new or enhanced features for local cooperative play
A nearly full and original new soundtrack, evocative of classic Isaac
The Binding of Isaac has had one of the most involved and robust communities of fans around since its initial release and has inspired countless players and developers with its peculiar sensibilities and creative blend of roguelike flavor. As its zealous modding community has proved, it’s only natural that many among us would feel the urge to try to help carry the torch and make it partly our own, but Antibirth was the first and is presently the only Isaac mod to reach deep into the core of Rebirth to enable the depth and scope of a full expansion, aspiring even to the size of the official DLC, Afterbirth. If you’ve become as enraptured with Isaac as the rest of us and you still want more, we’re here to provide our absolute best — and more of it than you’ve ever dreamed of — all for free. If you can watch this spot and wait a few short days, Antibirth will be right in front of you before you know it.
Questions & Answers
“Is this free?”
Yes!
“Will there be updates?”
Definitely! In fact, there are still so many significant updates planned that we would consider this to be an Early Access release, so please stay tuned!
“Is this official?”
No, we are not affiliated with Edmund McMillen or Nicalis in any way. We're just really really dedicated fans!
“Is this compatible with Linux/OSX?”
Unfortunately no, due to the way the mod works. We are looking into Wine compatibility, but in the meantime we would suggest playing it on a virtual machine.
“Will there be support for consoles?”
That is extremely unlikely, again due to the way the mod works.
“Is this mod compatible with Afterbirth/Afterbirth+?”
No, this is a Rebirth only mod. However it can co-exist with Afterbirth and you can easily switch between both at any time. We are also planning to add support for all DLCs within the next few months.
“Will this mod affect my Afterbirth progress?”
Antibirth uses your Rebirth savefiles, which are completely independent from Afterbirth. It will never have any impact on your Afterbirth savefile.
Did not see that one coming at all---let alone now just a few weeks prior to Afterbirth+'s full on release that will include proper modding capabilities.
The irony is magnificent given this is exactly the sort of thing that the latter was intending to champion as a thing that could happen via communal wranglings...
