Grimorio of Games announced that Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection will be released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam in Summer 2024. Initially, the game was a Kickstarter stretch goal for its sequel, but it will be released before the sequel to retell the original story and hold players off until Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant. Further, the developer shares that those who complete Resurrection will unlock rewards in Revenant, such as the possibility of summoning bosses.
Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection brings an enhanced version of the original dungeon crawler game to life in 3D, utilizing Revenant’s engine for a fresh experience. This reimagined adventure allows players to dive deeper into the tragic love story of Tama and Koko with added depth, thanks to new scenes, remastered illustrations, and voice acting in both English and Japanese. The game introduces refined mechanics and systems, such as customizable AI for summoned monsters, providing a richer gameplay experience. Additionally, completing the game unlocks special rewards in Revenant, including the ability to summon bosses from the remake.
Developed for a wide range of platforms, including Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series, Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection expands on its predecessor’s unique feature of reviving enemies to fight alongside the player. The game emphasizes strategic planning and customization, offering players improved combat combos and an innovative companion AI system. It also supports local co-op play, allowing for shared adventures in uncovering Tama and Koko’s past and battling through the dungeon’s depths. Fans can look forward to a dynamic third-person 3D Action Dungeon Crawler that blends challenging encounters with a compelling narrative.
