After recently giving a brief announcement of the upcoming combat skill that will change the way players fight in their game, Jagex is back with the official release date for the Necromancy skill in RuneScape! Necromancy is a brand-new standalone combat skill – the first of its kind across the fantasy MMO’s two-decade history.

As the game’s premiere update 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.

The Necromancy skill will officially hit RuneScape on August 7th. RuneScape is available now on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, complete with cross-platform progression and play on PC and mobile.
