| Game update | Patch 1 September 2026 Connections · Internet calls are now made by Necromancer Idle itself instead of a system dependency, so your firewall shows them under the game's name and you can allow or block them on their own · The number of calls has been limited: the news is checked when the game opens and once an hour, and the wiki only when you click its button, at most once every 30 minutes Interface · Heal at temples… | — | |
| Game update | Patch 1.0.8 Wiki · New Wiki button on the top bar, with sections for Basic mechanics, Academies, Unique bosses and Strategies · Anything that spoils itself comes covered: there is a spoiler switch and a notice when the section you are reading is hiding something · The box can be made wider or narrower and the text larger or smaller · The content is downloaded, so the first time you need a connection. After… | — | |
| Game update | Patch 28 August 2026 Reincarnation · Reincarnating now has a new button that brings the unique bosses you already slew back to life. They stand where they stood and can be killed again, but their rewards reset with them: whatever they gave you the first time has to be earned all over again Interface · The Current action window has two buttons in its header to make it bigger and smaller. It never grows wider than th… | — | |
| Community | Looking for beta testers for the Android version I've got something big for you, something I've been working on for a while now, along with a bunch of other fixes: there's an Android version of Necromancer Idle on the way, and I need people to test it before it reaches Google Play. I'm looking for around 20 of you What you'll be testing The Android app, not the Steam game. It's the full game, the same chapters you already know, running on a p… | — | |
| Game update | Patch 27 August 2026 Consumables · Healing that does not fit is no longer wasted. When your life is full, whatever a consumable has left waits there and goes in as soon as you take damage again. Before, two foods that heal the same amount opened at once and half of it was thrown away against the cap · The Consumables panel now shows the life per second of each food and of the whole pantry, with a bar per food showi… | — | |
| Game update | Patch 1.0.7 Consumables: healing now comes in gradually · Consumables no longer heal all at once. Each one spreads its healing over five seconds, so when you start eating matters now, not just how much you are carrying · While one is regenerating, no second unit of that same type is eaten. When it runs out, if you still need it, the next one goes in on its own · Nothing is wasted, same as before: a consuma… | — | |
| Game update | Patch 1.0.6 New feature: Time travel · You can now spend your offline time reserve all at once. The character lives through those hours at full speed and only the time actually lived is deducted: if it runs out of actions, the trip stops there and the rest stays in the reserve · The trip tells you why it stopped: no actions left, an obstacle your class cannot get past, or a duel waiting on your decision. Y… | — | |
| Game update | Patch August 22, 2026 Native Linux and Steam Deck support, still unverified: the game and the demo now have a native Linux version, no Proton needed. Steam Deck support is unverified because it has only been tested on desktop Linux. Try the demo first and report any issue with the "Report bug" button · Fixed a "Farm and leave" bug that let you leave a room without having farmed every consumable to the maximum · Fixe… | — | |
| Community | Unique bosses, crafting items and new chapters This post is not only about what is coming. We also want to clear up a mechanic that has been confusing for a lot of you. At least 20 chapters The game will have at least 20 chapters, and many unique bosses will show up along the way. So far only one of them has crossed your path: The Lesser Kraken. A unique boss dies only once Each unique boss can be killed only once per character. Once it fal… | — | |
| Game update | Patch 1.0.5 Two new languages: Polish and Simplified Chinese · New "Import from another character" button in the Automation panel: it copies the presets of another of your characters and translates every plan to the routes you pick, chapter by chapter. The difficulty colours are those of the class receiving the presets, not of the one that built them, and you decide whether it stops at each route's academy… | — | |
| Game update | Patch 1.0.4 Academy rewards have been reworked, and some key items are now on sale in the markets so any class can get past every kind of obstacle · The event log is now stored in the save: loading a game keeps the events of the current life instead of starting empty · New Reincarnates mode in the Speedrun panel: it records each chapter's time in every reincarnate and compares it with the previous one. It… | — | |
