Edmund McMillen talks about the potential for The Binding of Isaac 2

The Binding of Isaac has been a runaway success for creator Edmund McMillen. You would think that means an official sequel is a sure thing, right? According to McMillen in an interview with Dtoid, there's definitely interest in a sequel, but don't expect it to happen anytime soon.

"I love the game a great deal. It is definitely one of my favorites that I've done. So I can see myself making a sequel to it in the future. I don't know when, but I'd like to do some different games. I don't want to get stuck in that Isaac hole.

Isaac is kind of more like a universe to me, and I want to just keep expanding it and making it cooler. If the original Isaac is The Legend of Zelda, then the sequel would have to be Link to the Past. If I mention something mechanically and there are a bunch of modders out there, they will just mod it into the old game."
