Rebirth is a remake of The Binding of Isaac which was developed by McMillen and Florian Himsl and released in 2011 as an Adobe Flash application. This platform had limitations and led McMillen to work with Nicalis to produce Rebirth with a more advanced game engine which in turn enabled the substantial addition of content and gameplay features. Three expansions have been released. Afterbirth and Afterbirth+ in October 2015 and January 2017 respectively with more game content and gameplay modes; Afterbirth+ also added support for user-created content. The third Repentance was released in March 2021.
