The Binding of Isaac Rebirth finally gets an online coop mode

As a dedicated Isaac: Rebirth player with over a decade of gaming experience under my belt, I can confidently say that this latest announcement is music to my ears! The long-awaited coop mode finally seems to be on its way, and the fact that it’s coming free of charge is just the icing on the cake.


It required ten years for the gamers of Rebirth to eventually receive the feature they had been requesting – cooperative play. Now, it seems that the long-awaited feature is just about ready to be unveiled… almost.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth’s anniversary

On November 4th, the creator of the renowned game, Edmund McMillen, shared exciting news via his X/Twitter account. He announced that to mark the anniversary appropriately, they have reduced the game’s price by 50% on Steam, and this discount also applies to all DLCs.

10 years ago, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth debuted on Steam! To mark this milestone, we’re offering discounts on the game and its DLCs on Steam. Additionally, we’re thrilled to announce that a FREE online update for Isaac will be available in two weeks (on November 18th)! For more details, stay tuned…

In unison, they declared the arrival of the fresh online cooperative gameplay mode! As stated by McMillen, this is set to debut on November 18 and will come at absolutely no cost.

The coop update will not just bring online coop, but also new completion markers and a bunch of balance fixes that “heavily [focus] on buffing items you guys believe are lackluster/bad.”

Beneath McMillen’s original post, there were numerous pieces of concept art, discarded storyboards for scenes, and even insights into the development process of certain bosses shared. It’s quite intriguing to examine these and observe what eventually made it into the finished product of the game.

Sadly, there have not been any concrete patch notes, but that might change in the very near future!
