Obviously, the constant updates and expansions have played a huge part in keeping fans invested.Afterbirth+is the culmination of everything, and it’s pretty damn glorious. Everything from the multiple endings which slowly drip feed the story to the way that various abilities and power-ups stack to make each playthrough feel fresh give folks a ton of incentive to keep playing.
Still, it’s awfully surprising that new revelations are being turned up to this day. In a recent Twitter AMA, Edmund McMillen, the game’s creator, revealed that the narrator for the game is actually Isaac’s father. This isn’t exactly revolutionary, but it is a nice little tidbit for longtime fans. It adds a whole new set of questions and might even set the stage for a possible spinoff in the future starring dear old dad.The Legend of Bum-bohas already beenconfirmed as a prequel to the game, so I definitely don’t think that’s out of the question.
