The Binding of Isaac Rebirth comes to PS4 and Vita in November 2014

By Adam Rosenberg Published November 17, 2014

Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl’s wonderful roguelike The Binding of Isaac Rebirth is set to make its PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita debut on November 4, 2014, publisher Nicalis confirms. It’s also coming to Linux, Mac, and Windows via Steam on the same day. Just make sure you don’t confuse Rebirth with The Binding of Isaac (sans “Rebirth”), which was released in 2011 for Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Rebirth is a full-on reboot, and a significant one. More enemies, more playable characters, more gear, more upgrade possibilities, cooperative play, and — according to the press announcement — “rooms FULL OF POOP!” That’s why it’s being treated as a brand new game on the PC side. You can find all sorts of info about what sets Rebirth apart from its predecessor in a FAQ on the game’s official website.

Nintendo held out longer than Sony and Microsoft before raising prices, but the AI-driven memory crunch has finally forced its hand.

Nintendo is the latest company to bend its knee in the face of a pricing crisis triggered by AI. The company has just announced revised pricing for its Switch 2 console and online gaming services in multiple key markets, including the US.

Shoppers in the United States will soon have to pay a $50 premium for the handheld console. The effective date of price revisions in the US, Canada, and Europe is September 1, 2026 (via CNBC). If you've been eyeing the portable gaming console, you have less than four months to get it at the launch price.

Grand Theft Auto 6 has been slow-cooking in Rockstar Games' kitchen for a long while now. But after a decade of building one of the most hyped video games of all time, the expenses are adding up.

In a new Business Insider profile of Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick, the company boss declined to say exactly how much GTA 6 has cost. His only confirmation was that “it was expensive.” However, analysts are estimating the total bill could land somewhere between $1 billion and $1.5 billion.

Mortal Kombat isn’t done ripping spines out yet

NetherRealm is already pursuing another Mortal Kombat game, even as other franchise projects take shape.

Mortal Kombat 1 won’t be NetherRealm’s last trip into the arena. After the 2023 reboot, Ed Boon said in a Collider interview that the team is "definitely pursuing another Mortal Kombat game," giving players the clearest sign yet that the series remains active.

NetherRealm has confirmed direction while leaving the reveal details blank. It hasn’t shared a title, launch window, platforms, roster details, or story direction. The next Mortal Kombat game is real enough to discuss, but not ready enough to show.
