In December 2022, Nicalis founder and executive producer of The Binding of Isaac Tyrone Rodriguez Tweeted a video of The Binding of Isaac: Repentance on iPhone and confirmed it would have controller support. Since then, we hadn’t heard much about the upcoming iPhone version of The Binding of Isaac: Repentance. If you’ve not kept up with the game on mobile, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth ($14.99) hit iOS back in 2017, and it never got any of the expansions or paid DLC released on other platforms. The iOS version was also delisted and brought back more than once with no update to the game for modern screens or anything. Last week, Tyrone Rodriguez Tweeted that The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is still coming and that they are working on the bugs and to make it awesome for players. That’s all we have for an update on the release, but since this is a game many are looking forward to including myself, it is worth spreading the word around. A price point, release window, or even release strategy (upgrade path or new game) have not been announced. You can watch a video of it running on iPhone below:

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth currently on iOS, is lacking compared to the full version on other platforms with DLC packs and updates. Since Rebirth debuted, Afterbirth and Afterbirth+ hit PC and console with The Binding of Isaac: Repentance being the newest version and expansion. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is currently still $14.99 on iOS. I’d recommend waiting to see how this new expansion or brand new version are handled on iOS before buying anything. We don’t know if The Binding of Isaac: Repentance will be a brand new game or an update with paid DLC for the existing release. The PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game were brand new full-priced releases. The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is available for $59.99 on Xbox Series X as a complete game with all content and expansions. I played Afterbirth+ a ton of it on Nintendo Switch, but I know I’d enjoy it more on iPhone assuming it is feature complete when it does arrive. Have you tried The Binding of Isaac: Repentance on any platform yet and are you looking forward to it hitting iOS in the future?
