Ed Mcmillen has shared an update on The Legend of Bum-bo, a spinoff of sorts for The Binding of Isaac with puzzle-type RPG mechanics. Mcmillen posted on Twitter sometime within the first half of 2018. More news and a teaser trailer will follow soon.

Mcmillen previously indicated that The Legend of Bum-bo is a high candidate for Switch. Considering that The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ and The End Is Nigh are on the console, it seems like a safe bet at this point.
