This morning Jagex released the latest gameplay trailer for the upcoming skill Necromancy. Necromancy will be the first new combat skill since RuneScape began, which is sure to shake up the existing combat triangle. Players have been clamoring for new information ahead of release so that they can be best prepared to take on the underworld.

After the trailer, many RuneScape players shared their disappointment online as the trailer included very little new gameplay shown despite being referred to as a gameplay trailer. The countdown for the video itself was significantly longer than the video. This led to many fans feeling like the trailer had been misrepresented as it was more of a consolidation of previously shown footage and released information as opposed to new content.
Regardless, Necromancy will release on August 7, 2023, and players can immerse themselves in the whole experience. Until then, Double XP LIVE is currently live, and players are taking advantage to prepare themselves for Necromancy on launch.
