The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+ to Receive Physical Switch 2 Release in 2026 With Full DLC and Online Play

Nicalis and legendary indie developer Edmund McMillan have officially announced a highly anticipated physical release of The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+ for Nintendo's next-generation Switch 2 console.

Set to launch in the first quarter of 2026, this comprehensive edition will be available entirely on a physical game card, offering collectors and longtime fans a definitive way to own one of the most influential roguelike twinstick shooters of the last decade. Since its original launch, The Binding of Isaac franchise has continually expanded its reach, amassing a passionate fanbase and influencing the indie gaming landscape.

With its exhaustive content, darkly humorous lore, and challenging gameplay, Repentance+ represents the most complete version of the critically acclaimed series yet.

The upcoming Switch 2 edition aims to leverage the advancements of Nintendo’s new hardware platform, while meeting the demands of physical game collectors who desire complete experiences out-of-the-box. Nicalis confirmed via an official statement that this new release will not only provide the entire Repentance+ package on a single card—including all previously released downloadable content, updates, and expansions—but will also support robust online co-op multiplayer.

The publisher emphasized, "Players will be able to access online play for every major mode, such as daily runs, Greed mode, and various challenges.

The edition also introduces expanded matchmaking filters and enhanced communication options, including an emote wheel and built-in voice chat." A major quality-of-life upgrade is included with the “Item Descriptions” feature, which reveals the full functionality of previously collected items, making each of the game’s 700-plus collectables more accessible to both newcomers and series veterans.

In addition, new online leaderboards will allow players to track their progress and compete globally.

The game’s content remains massive, featuring over 300 unique enemy types and bosses, multiple difficulties, branching paths, hidden secrets, and numerous endings.

All game modes, challenges, and multiplayer features are fully integrated from day one. Alongside The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+, Nicalis will offer similar physical card releases for the fan-favorite arcade titles Pastry Panic! and Order Up!!.

Each of these titles will be available in all-inclusive editions, with every bit of content on the cartridge—eschewing the widely criticized Game Key Card model and ensuring lasting preservation for the games. Pre-orders for The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+ on Nintendo Switch 2 are already open via Nicalis’ official online store.

For Nintendo enthusiasts, collectors, and competitive players, this all-in-one package solidifies Repentance+ as a must-own highlight of the Switch 2 era.
