We is the Champion! (afterbirth update #17)

every week as i walk to get my mail i hear the screams of blood thirsty isaac fans “ADD MORE CHAMPIONS TO AFTERBIRTH!!”.

“LET ME DIE IN PEACE!” i yell back, pulling my cloak back over my head as i scoot away on my heelies.



so i hope today’s post will hold off the mob for a few more days…

Afterbirth will feature 5 new champions!

as you know all champions in isaac are twice as large, do a full heart of damage, have twice the life and usually drop something special when they die.

well this time we are sticking with the basic formula.. but switching things up just a tad. i wont spoil it all but here are 2 of the 5 new champion forms found in afterbirth.

Green Pulsing Champion:

Itty Bitty Champion:

im quite happy with these guys, champions are one aspect of isaac i think really makes the random generation shine.. so the more champion types the better i say.

Afterbirth will also support new seed code features, this time around you can combo them!

also to make things a lot easier there will now be a seed code chooser, once you have the seed code unlocked you can just choose from a list!

CONSOLE UPDATES!

as many of you know, binding of isaac: rebirth was released on the new 3ds, WiiU and Xbox1 last thursday in north america.

the big question we get asked is, when does it release in other countries?! in fact some of you guys want our heads on a stake for not having a sim launch in all countries.

we do not have a release date as of yet, we can say that the game is going through the approval process right now and should be out as soon as we make it out the other side!

isaac is also going to be releasing in japan on ps4+Vita by the end of summer, this version will be fully localized and actually be called “ the legend of isaac “

as with any launch the xbox/3ds versions of the game launched with a few bugs, invisible walls/floors and achievement bugs on the xbox1 and invisible enemies and music bugs in the 3ds version.

we are currently working on fixes for all of these issues and hope to update the game as soon as possible, sadly console isnt as easy to update as steam… so bear with us.

there is a minor quick fix for the 3ds, it seems the more you play without restarting the higher the % the bugs will appear, so if you start facing invisible bosses, save and quit, close the game and restart and things should be good again.

thanks for the support and understanding!

NEXT WEEEEEEKKKK!!!
