In total, there’ll be more than 5,000 new room designs featuring hundreds of items and more than 100 new enemies and bosses. Up to three additional players can join Isaac as he heads back into the basement to face “unholy terrors from his wildest dreams and worst nightmares” in a “ sequel sized” expansion that adds “thousands” of hours of new gameplay. Repentance is the game’s final expansion. Those who want to purchase the game on PS5 will be able to choose between the digital edition or the physical Hypergun Edition of the game, the latter of which is available for pre-order now.
