3D Remake Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection announced
We are pleased to show you the announcement trailer for Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection, the 3D remake of the original Sword of the Necromancer, which is coming to PC and consoles at the end of summer 2024. Previously planned as a stretch goal in the sequel's Kickstarter campaign, this remake will now instead be released prior to Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant to give more time to the latter's development.
Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection] will be a reimagining of the original monster-summoning dungeon crawler game, which featured top-down pixel art graphics. Based on Revenant's engine, players will be able to relive Tama's quest to resurrect her lover in 3D, with exciting new ways to battle and renewed mechanics and systems, including the possibility of customizing the summoned monsters' AI. This remake will also feature remastered high quality illustrations and voice acting (both in English and Japanese) and new scenes to delve deeper in Tama and Koko's tragic love story.
You can help us (a lot!) by wishlisting the game!

In addition to the new features, beating Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection will also unlock rewards in Revenant once it's available, like the possibility of summoning the bosses of the remake (shown at the end of the trailer) as special summons. Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection will be released on Steam and consoles (Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series).

Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant Kickstarter campaign to launch in a few weeks
Hi everyone!
We plan to launch a Kickstarter campaign for Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant, just after 2 years of the original game’s launch. The game showcased its first trailer last December, which you can see in the Steam Store page.
Link to the Kickstarter Campaign
The campaign
The first Sword of the Necromancer also had a successful crowdfunding campaign, raising €201,256 from its initial €15,000 goal. Revenant‘s campaign will have an initial goal to fund the game’s physical edition for consoles, but will include additional stretch goals to add more features to the game in all platforms. Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant has been announced for PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
Backers will be able to obtain the game at a lower price than when it comes out. Exclusive campaign rewards will also be available, including a special surprise. The campaign will also offer limited “Early Bird” pledge tiers, so signing up to receive the notification when the campaign launches is recommended! (It also helps us with visibility on Kickstarter!)
In the meantime, players can go to the game’s Steam Store page and wishlist it.

You can even choose what items will appear in chests and their properties, so you can set yourself a unique challenge or share a fiendish floor with a friend. Share your creations via a simple text code!
Item Shop
When playing the new modes, you will earn Symbols that you can exchange for items in the Item Shop. The item offer will change daily and is the same for all players each day. This feature can help you unlock all of the weapon and relic types, a useful tool for achievement hunters!
