Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection remake reveals trailer and release date
Everyone’s favorite sapphic hack-and-slash roguelike Sword of the Necromancer, by Grimorio of Games, is back with Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection, a 3D remake of the OG Sword of the Necromancer, 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 for its 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. Players will be able to relive Tama’s quest to resurrect her sapphic lover in 3D, with exciting new ways to battle and renewed mechanics and systems.
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 queer love story we fell in love with in the most recent Sword of the Necromancer.
For those eagerly anticipating Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant, beating Resurrection will also unlock rewards in Revenant once it’s available. These include 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 Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series later this summer, and you can head to Steam now to wish list the game!
