Evaluation
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth launched on November 4, 2014 and has received a remarkable amount of ongoing support over more than a decade. Four major expansions have shipped: Afterbirth (October 30, 2015), Afterbirth+ (January 3, 2017), Repentance (March 31, 2021), and Repentance+ as a free DLC on November 19, 2024. All five items in the DLC store listing are marked as released.
The game continues to receive active post-launch development. A major quality-of-life and item rebalance patch (1.9.7.13) shipped in September 2025, adding internal item descriptions for all 1,000+ collectibles, new trinket effects, and balance changes. A crossplay update connecting Steam and Epic players shipped on April 11, 2026.
Most significantly, on July 10, 2026 — just six days before today's date — series creator Edmund McMillen posted directly to confirm that "the team is actually working on a small update right now that might release by the end of the year." He also confirmed that the full Isaac collection including Repentance+ is coming to all next-gen consoles, with a Switch 2 physical preorder already open. These are clear, recent developer statements that development and support are ongoing.
No statement has been made that development is concluding. The game remains actively supported with further updates explicitly confirmed to be in progress.
Evidence
Series creator Edmund McMillen confirms the team is working on a small update targeting release by end of 2026, and that Repentance+ is coming to all next-gen consoles.
Patch 1.9.7.16 adds crossplay between Steam and Epic players for Repentance+ Online, with continued bug reporting and refinement ongoing.
