As someone who enjoyed the first Sword of the Necromancer quite a bit, I find the following news to be pretty interesting. Grimorio of Games will launch a Kickstarter campaign for 3D Action RPG Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant, just after 2 years of the original game's launch. The game showcased its first trailer last December, after being announced in development back in April 2022.
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, with additional stretch goals to add more features to the game. Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant has been announced for Nintendo Switch, PC, 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.
In the meantime, players can go to the game's Steam Store page and wishlist it.
Grimorio of Games has been sharing more details about the game and its development on their social networks with weekly Twitch dev streams, and also have a newsletter which players can sign up to to get the latest info and exclusive in-game bonuses.
