Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant's campaign has an initial goal of 15,000€ to help fund the game's physical edition for Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PS5, with additional stretch goals to add more features to the game.The campaign also includes "social stretch goals" to unlock new weapons and skins for free for all backers.


Backers will be able to obtain the game at a lower price than when it comes out, and a copy of the original game for Steam with any tiered pledge. Exclusive campaign rewards are available, including a very special surprise: a full-fledged Trading Card Game that also grants items and monsters to summon in the video game.


The campaign also offers limited "Early Bird" pledge tiers, allowing the first backers to get the digital game and its physical editions (regular and collectors) cheaper than when it is released (as low as 15€). Players can also go to the game's Steam Store page and wishlist it.


Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant's Physical and Collector's Edition will be possible thanks to Grimorio's partners Tesura Games, which also distributed the first Sword of the Necromancer in retail stores across Europe. You can have a look at the Collector's Edition contents below:
