The Kickstarter campaign for The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls Requiem goes live June 1st. In Four Souls, death is just another obstacle to overcome, and the card descriptions walk a tight line between macabre and goofy. Valuable loot cards and currency drop from foes that require cooperation, but betrayal is an eventuality. The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls pits two to four players against monsters, nightmares and each other in a bid to be the first to collect four hard-to-acquire souls.

He already announced several pieces of The Binding of Isaac merchandise, such as plushes, figurines and artwork, and separate tiers for buying Tapeworm - “ a mash-up of Uno and Snake” - and other past games will also be on offer. Unlockable tiers haven’t been officially confirmed, but McMillen hinted at high-quality tokens, dice and counters as a possible reward. In an earlier Twitter Q&A, McMillen confirmed that the campaign will also include the Gold Box expansion - a previous Kickstarter-exclusive item - and the Four Souls+ addition, meaning those who missed any add-ons or are looking to try the game for the first time will have an opportunity to nab everything in a single purchase. There will also be new rules for a solitaire game mode and a “mega chest” designed to hold the entire game, plus its various additions.

Several cards have been rebalanced, and the overall visual style and card text has received some recent attention.
