More like 3D..YES! (afterbirth update #15)

As some of you may have heard last week, it was announced that Rebirth will be releasing on the new 3ds, WiiU and Xbox1 all on the same day, July 23rd! ONLY 10 DAYS AWAY!

currently my new favorite platform for rebirth is easily the new 3ds version, i’ve been playing a lot of it this week (went and got a new 3ds just to play it early…) and i wanna list of a few of my favorite new but subtle features to the 3ds + WiiU versions.

-having the map on the 2nd screen is way more helpful and pleasing to the eye than expected!

-you can draw and take notes on the 2nd screen around the map so you can remember to go back to specific rooms, or just draw wieners.

-all trinkets, cards and items have new large higher rez art for use on the bottom screen.. this sounds minor but it’s easily one of my fave features, i just like seeing the new more detailed art down there, its quite purdy.

i wanna also take the time to respond to the most common questions about the new launch.

- Rebirth will release on new 3ds, WiiU and Xbox1 on july 23rd (i dont know what time)

- Rebirth will only work on the NEW 3ds system. the game really needed the extra horse power the new 3ds brings with it to get it working in a way we were happy with.

- Rebirth will be 15$ on all platforms universally.

- you can NOT get a discount on platform X if you own the game on platform Y.

- you can NOT transfer saves from platform X to platform Y

Hope that clears things up! now on to the afterbirth update.





Afterbirth will feature A LOT of new basic pickups.

there will be new cards, pills, runes, bombs, hearts, chests and even a few new item types you will run into and/or unlock via one of the 10 new challenges.

we are getting to the point where i don’t want to spoil all the fun here… so i need to be careful with what i post and how much. so today im going to simply post a few screen shots of new pickups and trinkets and let you try and figure out what they do :)

afterbirth is currently looking to be around 2 months from completion. we recently added another 40+ items so you never know what feature creeps we may run into along the way… but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel and hope we can announce a release date and start taking preorders sooner than later ;)

see ya!
