Necromancers are grim spellcasters who draw upon the power of
blood and bone and raise terrifying armies of undead minions from
the remains of their vanquished foes. These brooding men and women
are masters of the dark arts who seek to preserve the balance
between the forces of life and death in Sanctuary—even if it
requires detonating several thousand demon corpses along the
way.
In addition to a new class, the Rise of the Necromancer pack
contains a macabre assortment of curiosities to support any
aspiring practitioner of forbidden magic, including:
- The grotesque Half-formed Golem in-game
pet
- Cosmetic Wings of the Crypt Guardian
for all your Diablo III characters
- Two additional character slots
- Two stash tabs (PC only)
- Necromancer portrait, banner, sigil,
and accent, and Blood Master pennant
Acolytes of the dark arts can also unearth the most closely
guarded secrets of the Priests of Rathma by studying the Book of
the Necromancer at Diablo3.com/Necro. This archive chronicles the
shadowy history of the necromancers and contains a grimoire of
their spells, runes, weapons, and armor—an ideal resource for
anyone who plans to take the necromancer through the challenges
that comprise the Season 11 journey, beginning July 20.
“We’re excited to continue our celebration of the 20th
anniversary of Diablo by reimagining one of the community’s
all-time favorite classes in the Rise of the Necromancer pack,”
said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment.
“We look forward to seeing a new generation of necromancers
exploring Adventure Mode, discovering new character builds, and
exploding corpses in Greater Rifts throughout Sanctuary.”
The Night of the Necromancer celebration kicks off tonight at 5
p.m. PDT on Twitch as senior game designer Travis Day joins
Nerdist’s Jessica Chobot as she raises hell on a new necromancer,
streaming her play experience from a haunted location. After
teaming up, Chobot will be left to fend for herself as she attempts
to survive from dusk till dawn.
Console gamers who have yet to experience Diablo III can acquire
a legendary treasure starting today in the form of the digital-only
Eternal Collection™, which includes the Rise of the Necromancer
pack, Diablo III, and the award-winning Reaper of Souls expansion
for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. This expansive all-in-one collection
is a perfect jumping-in point for anyone who might have missed out
on the definitive couch co-op gaming experience.
The Rise of the Necromancer pack is now available for Windows®
and Mac® PCs, as well as on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, for $14.99
USD. The epic Diablo III: Eternal Collection bundle is currently
available to PlayStation®Plus members on PS4 and Xbox Live Gold
