Wtf is it you ask? well feel free to check out the Mewgenics steam page, we have a live feed streaming right now where you can see the game in action!

Its happened! The Binding of isaac is now part of the Funko Pop line up... some of you scream! you are 10 years late my friend! and i yell back "Don't call me friend ASSHOLE!!" but while on the topic of asses, you cant see them in the pic but i fought hard to make sure these pops had visible heinies (essential for the chase super greed figure!) so even though many of you are just too cool for school with these kinda toys, i think they are honestly the perfect theme for this toy line and i'm excited to see them in stores! ill be sure to do some unboxings on my youtube channel when i get them!i

The rumors are true! The Binding of Isaac is today's Fortnite crossover!!What does that mean???It means Isaac is now Back Bling! He wiggles, cries, and cheers you on as you play!It means you can ride the Duke of Flies!It means Mom's Knife can do more stabbing (look closely into the knife's reflection and tell me what you see!).Overall I'm quite happy with how it all turned out. The team did an amazing job with all these details. But honestly, I gotta hand this one to the fans who screamed Isaac from the mountains so loudly that the Fortnite team took notice and made the "wHen ISaAc iN FOrtnIte

Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel's funky cat breeder Mewgenics has meandered back into the kitchen and emitted the first in a series of informative meows that'll build up to its release next year. McMillen has revealed that "all the big important bits" are now sorted, and to celebrate, has released a 50 minute-long video playthrough. Mewgenics has been in development for a while, but efforts to finally have it emerge from the carrier have really begun to click into place this year. There have been a couple of trailers and the decision to push the release date back to February 10th, 2026, allow

Oh hey, i didnt see you there!Its me Edmund and im back with another Isaac news roundup! lets get to it shall we!?There is a large quality of life update coming to repentance this sept... that's the goal anyway, no super hard date yet but this update will not only add some substantial and much appreciated QOL updates but also feature a pretty hefty item rebalance patch and updates to some unfinished cycles ( more on that when the update launches ). Once this update is live and any bugs ironed out, the team can finally start moving all the most recent Repentance+ updates to the console! ( final

I've been playing a lot of excellent roguelikes in 2024. Game of the Year nominee Balatro has taken over my life, while the launch of Hades 2 and the last update for Dead Cells have kept me coming back as well. Between all of these games, though, I've been waiting for The Binding of Isaac to debut its online co-op update, and I'm more than happy to report that it's here. Isaac is one of the roguelike genre's most formative games, and now the free Repentance+ update makes it even better. Read the rest of the story...

So its been a while since i did any announcements here, but this month is so jam packed with updates i thought id go beyond my updates on twitter and tiktok and do a quick recap here! ISAAC NENDOROID! im a huge action figurine fan and goodsmile has always been the pinnacle of articulated figurines ( i have a full collection of overwatch figures by them! ) so as you might assume, turning isaac into a Nendoroid was a HUGE bucket list item for me! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3871154/b76bed34c834a8abf3c24de303d83e3344eb6db9.jpg Preorders have started today and those who preorder gain access to 2 limited ed

The Binding of Isaac Rebirth is ten years old. Since it launched, some of my other favorite roguelikes have taken up all my attention, but it's almost time for the return of the king. I've played Slay the Spire, Hades, Dead Cells, Dicey Dungeons, and Balatro to my heart's content, but everyone's favorite tear-shooting child is about to make a comeback. The long-awaited Isaac online co-op update is finally almost here, and you can snag the roguelike at a deep discount in the meantime. Read the rest of the story...

The popular Twitch emote BibleThump is going away at the end of September, and it doesn't make a lot of sense. Twitch said in an announcement (via Kotaku) that the emote is being dropped because of expiring licenses, but rightsholder Edmund McMillen says he'd be happy to renew the license, but it's not up to him...

The Binding of Isaac's co-op alpha test has been taken permanently offline ahead of a full release for the online mode, because someone was datamining the roguelike game and "ruining it for everyone else." This means all testing for the online mode is permanently closing until release, which is expected towards the end of 2024. Read the rest of the story...

The Binding of Isaac is the king of all roguelike games on PC, and I'm more than ready to take on anyone who disagrees. Featuring a bizarrely satisfying agglomeration of blood, tears, and randomly generated bullet hell boss battles, Edmund McMillen's 2011 classic stands as one of the genre's most defining entries. If it were up to McMillen, the game could become even more chaotic with a boundary-defying Fortnite crossover. Read the rest of the story...

The final DLC for roguelike game The Binding of Isaac has been given a solid release date. The Binding of Isaac: Repentance will grace Steam on March 31, 2021. The date was revealed in a fancy new trailer full of nods to the history of the indie game, setting us up for one last horrifying attempt at helping Isaac escape from the clutches of his murderous mother. Over 130 items, 100 enemies, 25 bosses, and 5,000 new rooms are included in the mammoth sequel. Creator Edmund McMillen had previously hoped the team would manage to get the game out before the end of 2020, but that wasn't to be - give
