The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is getting an expansion that 'will almost double' the size of the game

Developer Edmund McMillen has announced his plans for an expansion to the recently released The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.

"[O]nce the holidays end, the nicalis gang will be jumping back into the abyss and digging into the very large design doc i have ready for em," McMillen wrote on his blog.

Part of this design doc is a new game mode that McMillen says "will almost double the amount of things you can do."

He also says that this expansion will also have loads of new enemies, bosses, new areas, endings, and a new playable character.

It will also have new unique items. At least 10 of these will be designed by the game's community as McMillen has asked players to submit item ideas for the expansion to this Reddit thread.

The rules for the idea submissions, and what should be avoided, can be found at that link.

As for the rest of us, we can look forward to this expansion to The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth hopefully coming to Vita in 2015.
