The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ DLC Release Date
Edmund McMillen’s indie darling The Binding of Isaac is receiving yet another expansion in the form of the forthcoming Afterbirth+ DLC, which will bring new content to the base game. It has recently been announced that The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ DLC release date will be on January 3rd through Steam. Console gamers will have to wait a bit longer than their PC counterparts, as Afterbirth+ DLC will launch for consoles sometime in the Spring.
The new The Binding of Isaac expansion will retail for $9.99, however owners of the base game Afterbirth will be able to snag the DLC for $6.66 during the first week of launch. There is a lot of content in this DLC which has been revealed over on The Binding of Isaac official site.
Players can expect:
– full access to mod tools ( so you can design, edit and play and endless number of mods, features and whole new games that the community will no doubt eventually design.. )

As a fan of The Binding of Isaac, I will definitely be picking up this new expansion. More Isaac is always welcome! This will probably be my game of 2017, like Afterbirth was in 2015. Peep the announcement trailer below.
