Edmund McMillen Addresses Isaac's Future: Updates, Console Port, and a Possible Sequel
In a community announcement posted on July 10, 2026, Edmund McMillen — creator of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth — addressed a wave of returning and new players with answers to frequently asked questions.
What was said
- A small update is in development and may release before the end of the year, though no details about its contents were shared.
- Repentance+ is coming to consoles. McMillen confirmed the full Isaac collection, including Repentance+, will arrive on "all next gen consoles," but noted no solid release date has been set.
- A sequel is possible, but not imminent. McMillen described himself as "very deep" into Mewgenics+ development, estimating he will spend roughly five years on its DLC — potentially alternating with work on a new IP.
- Official merchandise is available through Maestro Media. A sale is currently running, with the code
STEAMoffering an additional 15% discount before it ends.
The announcement does not detail what the in-development update will change or add, so players hoping for specifics will need to wait for a follow-up. What it does clarify is that the game is not in maintenance mode — active development continues, and the console release of Repentance+ appears to be a matter of timing rather than intention.
