The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth arrives in November, new trailer arrives now

It's not quite ready for prime time yet, but The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth now has a launch date that's not too far down the road. A "release date trailer" has also made its way to the tubes, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that it can generously be described as quite possibly the weirdest thing you'll see all day.

The important part is this: The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, a remake of the 2011 release built on an new and more efficient engine with updated art, effects, music, and "hundreds upon hundreds of designs, redesigns and re-tuned enhancements," will launch on November 4.
