Developer Grimorio of Games has announced a remake of Sword of the Necromancer called Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection for PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. While news of a remake is hardly unusual in 2024, what sets this apart is the fact that Sword of the Necromancer was released just three years ago, in January 2021.

Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection is a 3D remake using the engine for upcoming action-RPG Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant. Resurrection is set to launch sometime in 2024, but before Revenant does. Those who complete Resurrection will also be able to unlock special bonuses in Revenant, such as being able to summon Resurrection's bosses to help out.
