The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ is no longer a Nintendo Switch launch title, with Nicalis noting that the game will now arrive at a later date in March.

“We were unable to confirm the revised release date until now (due to issues way beyond our control), but can confirm that the Release Date for The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ on Nintendo Switch has been pushed back. It’s still March, but we won’t make 3.3 (insert sad face here),” explained Nicalis founder Tyrone Rodriguez.

However, the delay does come with a silver lining. Every launch edition of Afterbirth+ will include two limited edition sticker sheets and a reversible alternate cover. There’s also a retro-style full-colour 20 page instruction booklet, which pays homage to the 8-bit era.

The extras will only be available in the launch edition, and won’t be included in future Nintendo Switch production runs.
