‘Binding of Issac’ Prequel ‘The Legend of Bum-bo’ to be Released This November
Longtime Binding of Isaac have been waiting for the prequel from creator Edmund McMillen since it was first announced way back in 2016. That patience has paid off, as McMillen has announced that The Legend of Bum-bo will be releasing November 12th to Steam. To top it off, we have a new trailer for the game.
Unlike Isaac, Bum-bo is a puzzle-based deck-builder with rogue-like aspects. Also, Bum-bo takes a turn-based approach to combat, as opposed to Isaac‘s real-time combat. However, Bum-bo is very much in the same art style as Isaac, along with the idea of multiple items available for you to collect.
McMillen also confirmed that the game will see a Switch release, but wasn’t so sure about a PS4 version, due to the mouse requirement.
