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[/b] 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).
