Blizzard Resurrects Necromancer Class For Diablo III

by Matt Bertz on Nov 04, 2016 at 09:14 AM

Four years since its original release, Diablo III continues to mutate in interesting ways to beckon your return. Today at Blizzcon 2016, Blizzard chief development officer Frank Pearce revealed the necromancer class from Diablo II is coming to Reaper of Souls. 

The popular class had abilities like corpse explosion, blood golems, curses, and skeleton armies. We'll have to wait to see this class in action to see how Blizzard is evolving the class moving forward. The Necromancer character pack will be available early next year.

The necromancer is just one part of a Diablo extravaganza coming soon to players. Blizzard also revealed the original Diablo game is being remade for Diablo III in The Darkening of Tristram anniversary patch, which comes out next week.
