While we wait for the Necromancer to be added to Diablo III, another gothic action-RPG is getting the Necromancer added as post-launch downloadable content.

The Necromancer will be coming alongside Grim Dawn’s first expansion, which brings with it an expanded item stash, a new story chapter, and a level cap raise to 100. The expansion is set to arrive sometime before this summer.

“Although they primarily engage in the weaving of magic, necromancers are aptly equipped to enter the fray in close quarters, or to weave their death magic into ranged weaponry. Do not for a moment think that a cornered necromancer is easy prey,” Crate said of the Necromancer in a new developer blog.

The class has a bunch of masteries currently in development, including: Drain Essence, Raise Skeletons, Necrotic Edge, plus a skill that will let you “shatter the souls of your enemies to conjure violent wraiths.”

You’ll also be able to power up your minions with necrotic powers, ravage the battlefield with disease and rot, and naturally find cruel and unusual ways to kill off your enemies.

In case you missed it, you can find our review for Grim Dawn here (we highly recommend it!). You can also find the game here on Steam, and here on GOG (it’s currently half-off on GOG).
