RuneScape’s New Combat Skill Necromancy Receives Release Date and Bone-Chilling Cinematic Trailer

Thursday, 29 June 2023 – Today, Jagex has announced a release date for RuneScape’s upcoming new combat skill, Necromancy as Friday August 7. Necromancy is a brand new stand-alone combat skill – the first of its kind across the fantasy MMO’s two decade history. 

A brand new, epic cinematic trailer has been released to show off the arcane and dark powers players will be harnessing later this summer. Witness Death’s plea for the heroes of Gielinor to pick up dark art of Necromancy to rebalance the cycle of life and death.

Necromancy will be one of RuneScape’s premiere updates for 2023. The new combat style will challenge both experienced and new players alike as they embrace their inner darkness and learn this ancient combat art across a lore-filled and deep adventure.

Players will enter Gielinor’s underworld to commune and free the undead.  Together they will grow their powers and defeat The First Necromancer. Wielding a Death Guard and Skull Lantern, players will battle fearsome enemies throughout Gielinor and the underworld perfecting their Necromancy combat, Rituals and Runecrafting skills.

Necromancy will be free for players up to level 20, for more information please visit the RuneScape website. RuneScape is available now on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, complete with cross-platform progression and play on PC and mobile.
