Jagex has new details to share about the Necromancy combat skill coming to RuneScape, as it will drop the first week of August.

Jagex revealed new details for the upcoming Necromancy addition to RuneScape, as players will be able to add it to their skills on August 7th. In case you're not aware of it yet, Necromancy is a brand-new standalone combat skill, the first of its kind in the game's history. The team released a new blog with info on the skill (which we have a snippet of here), along with an all-new video to give you an idea of how it will look and work. Enjoy the trailer and info below!

"Necromancy has no requirements to play in RuneScape, so whether you're currently playing every day, you've been on a break, or it's your first time playing, you'll be good to go. For those who want to be best prepared, we chatted to the dev team to get some handy tips on things you can get working on. Chasing one of the levels below? Don't worry! You'll have an extra helping hand with the arrival of Double XP: LIVE on July 28th, giving you an extra 48 hours of Double XP gameplay time to use up until right before we launch Necromancy on August 7th."
