We're so very, nearly,
almost there! Necromancy rises next Monday, August 7th at 12:00 Game Time (13:00 BST / 08:00 ET / 05:00 PT).
With the launch just one game update away (seven days to go), we've dropped a brand new Gameplay Launch Trailer - narrated by Rasial - to give you one of your final glimpses of this new skill before you get your hands on it. Exciting times.
Getting Ready For Launch
If you're looking to re-familiarise yourself with RuneScape, this is a great time to get started. Here are just a few things going on right now that you won't want to miss!
In-Game Event: Rasial's Arrival
The villain of the piece is Rasial, The First Necromancer. As his Age-spanning plan comes to fruition, he's finally making himself known to the citizens of Gielinor. The rivers run blue with Necromantic energy seeping into the world of the living, and Rasial himself will be speaking to you while you skill, kill or die. Especially that last part...
Hop in to interact with Rasial before launch on August 7th - and collect a Necromantic item that will come in handy next week!
Double XP Is Active!
While anyone can jump into Necromancy without any requirements, there are a number of useful levels to have that support your journey in Necromancy - from crafting armour upgrades to making powerful potions that will aid you in Combat.
Until launch on August 7th at 12:00 Game Time, you have 48 hours of Double XP game time to help you prepare for release.
