hey kids, still edmund and still evil!

im here this week to relay another transmission from tyrone about afterbirth, but im also here to punish all those who oppose me! (still evil, remember?!) so im going to fuck with his update as much as i feel like… anywho

….incoming transmission…



Happy New Year!

It’s me Tyrone (@tyronerodriguez) and I’m still not Ed.

We’ve been busy resting, getting ready for more Afterbirth+ work but have made some progress through the holiday. I want to go over some frequently asked questions in today’s post.

I’ve heard about Afterbirth+, will it be free?

It will not be free, it will be a paid DLC and will require Rebirth and Afterbirth to purchase.

Why isn’t it free?!?

Because it’s another expansion, just like Afterbirth and will complete the Rebirth ********* and ********* ***. As far as gameplay, we’re adding (and this is still Tyrone, but ** might ****** the following) a bunch of new ***** items, over ** **** enemies, rad bosses, redesigned ***** mod ******* and a few ***** surprises. That’s a big part of the D**.



Why are we paying for mod support?

Technically, you’re not. Remember, this is an expansion just like Afterbirth. Trust me, it’ll be worth it, you’ll love it and if you don’t, blame Northerlion.



I keep seeing your tweets mentioning Lua. Who is she?

Actually, Lua isn’t a girl, Lua is a lightweight multi-paradigm programming language. But I just ripped that from wikipedia. Go there if you want to learn more.



That Matthias Bossi guy has one sexy voice, but I’d really like my own voice packs. Will Afterbirth+ allow this?

Yes! You’ll be able to swap out all those lovely voice over effects with your own version of Balls of Steel!



What platforms will it be available?

This one is tricky! The DLC/expansion will be available on Windows, OSX and Linux. It’ll probably also be available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. BUUUUUUUUT the mod support tools will only be for Windows.



Will platforms other than Windows be able to play the mods?

We’re pretty sure that it’s not an issue for OSX and Linux, but we need to do more research on what it would take for packaged mods and changes to be accessible on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Keep in mind that mod support for the consoles might be entirely out of our control.

When is it coming out?

2016, that’s this year!

Other news for console players who want Afterbirth. We should be done with porting both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version by the end of next month. Release would be shortly after that. For any other consoles, I can’t promise you anything, but XO and PS4 are between Q1 and Q2 this year.

That’s it for now! Back to work for me.

Tweet at me if you have anymore questions and thanks for reading



(here are some modded item tests for you to enjoy!)

Edmund here again, just wanted to say how much i hate you and answer a few of the more common questions people ask me for a change!!!!

How much will Afterbirth+ Cost?



just enough to upset a vocal minority and buy myself a 3rd yacht!

after such success of Isaac, are there any ideas about new roguelike games?



im working on a randomly generated sim where i punch peoples ugly faces with knives! i call it “LET ME DIE IN PEACE YOU BASTARDS!”

So I should expect the full contents to be implemented how many months later? Just want to know when to buy it…
