I’ll be honest—I only downloaded Necropolis: Story of Lich because I saw some Reddit post talking about a Halloween event where you could summon a vampire prince from a limited-time code. I figured I’d play for a weekend, burn through my luck, and move on. Well… 3 months later, I’m logging in daily, neck-deep in lich lore, managing a graveyard full of undead warriors, and—this is key—chasing every promo code I can get my hands on.

If you’re here, you’re probably looking for the same thing: free diamonds, shards, gold, maybe even a rare hero drop if the devs are feeling generous. The trick isn’t just having codes—it’s knowing how to stack them with seasonal events, where to find them before they vanish, and what to do when one randomly fails to work (because it will happen, trust me).

Quick Takeaways (For the Scroll-Happy)

• January 2026 Necropolis codes are live—some with U.S.-exclusive rewards
• Redeemable on both iOS & Android (yep, even through emulators)
• Find new codes through Twitter, Discord, Reddit (skip shady third-party sites)
• Track expirations—some last days, others hours (especially during holiday events)
• Typical rewards: diamonds, gold, hero shards, event gear, summon tickets
• Common error: wrong server region or expired code—you’re not alone
• Stack codes with 4th of July-style promos or patch day bonuses for maximum value
• Avoid hacks—the devs do ban, and the codes are plentiful enough without cheating

What is Necropolis: Story of Lich?

If you haven’t played yet, imagine this: a dark fantasy mobile RPG where you’re the bad guy—sort of. You play as a lich king resurrecting an undead army in a crumbling, cursed kingdom. Think Darkest Dungeon vibes, but wrapped in the addictive core loop of a gacha strategy RPG.

Turn-based combat, undead hero fusion, PvE tower runs, and PvP arenas all exist under one very goth roof. The whole thing has this beautiful shadowy aesthetic, like if Tim Burton decided to direct a mobile RPG. And because it leans into its theme so hard, it’s honestly refreshing compared to your usual anime-style gacha fare.

What hooked me wasn’t just the gameplay (although the synergy-based team building is satisfying), it was how the devs time their events and codes. You’ll see codes drop for weird stuff like Friday the 13th, regional U.S. holidays, and even influencer streams. It’s cleverly built for players like me who love collecting things and hate missing out.

All Working Codes in Necropolis (January 2026 Update)

Here’s what’s working as of late January 2026. I’ve tested these myself on a U.S. server (NA-East). If you’re on a different server, or using a guest account, mileage may vary.

What I’ve found is that these codes often drop just before or after a game patch—so if you see an update pending, check the socials. That’s usually when the devs sneak something in.

How to Redeem Necropolis Codes (iOS & Android)

Redemption’s pretty simple, once you know where to look. I missed it my first week because it’s weirdly buried in the settings menu.

Here’s how I redeem mine (on both my phone and emulator):

1. Launch the game, obviously.
2. Tap your profile icon (top-left corner of the main screen).
3. Go to Settings.
4. Scroll to the “Redeem Code” button (near the bottom).
5. Enter the code EXACTLY as it appears—it’s case-sensitive.
6. Hit Claim.

If you’re on BlueStacks or another emulator like I am half the time, everything works the same, though I’ve had a few weird bugs where the on-screen keyboard won’t trigger the claim. Restarting usually fixes it.

Troubleshooting tips:

• If a code says “invalid,” double-check spacing or case.
• “Code expired”? That one’s self-explanatory (and it stings).
• “Code not available in your region”? You might need a U.S. IP—VPN worked for me once, but it’s not consistent.

Expired & Invalid Codes: What to Avoid

You see a flashy YouTube thumbnail screaming “ALL NEW 2026 CODES!” and, nine times out of ten, they’re just rehashing expired junk.

Here’s a quick list of codes that no longer work (tested by yours truly):

• NECROHOLIDAY25
• DARKGIFT2025
• SUMMONNIGHT5
• LICH4JULY (yep, they actually dropped one for Independence Day)

Also, never click random third-party sites promising “exclusive” gift packs—especially if they ask for your game ID or login. Most of them are either trying to phish, or they’ll just recycle public codes that already expired weeks ago.

One red flag? If it asks for account binding confirmation. I fell for that once and spent an hour resetting everything.

Where to Find New Codes (U.S. Sources)

Alright, here’s what works for me. I’ve set up notifications on the following:

• Official Twitter: @NecropolisRPG posts most of the global codes, and occasionally region-specific U.S. codes (usually tagged).
• Discord Server: The #announcements and #codes channels are active, especially before patches.
• Subreddit: r/NecropolisGame has weekly megathreads where people post confirmed working codes. Watch for flair like [Code Drop].
• Facebook Page: Rarely useful, but sometimes tied to follower milestones.
• Streamer Campaigns: If a U.S. content creator is doing a promo stream, they sometimes get a one-use-only code that expires within hours.

Pro tip: Codes tend to drop more often during U.S. holidays (4th of July, Thanksgiving, Black Friday), even if the game is globally developed. They’re clearly timing some releases for American players.

Final Thoughts

I used to think game codes were just an afterthought—like, “Oh cool, free stuff.” But in Necropolis, especially with how they tie them into timed events and U.S.-focused promotions, they’ve become part of how I play. Sometimes I’ll literally wait to do summons until I’ve redeemed a code that gives summon scrolls plus stacks with an active event.

There’s no guarantee a code will work forever, and the rhythm is kinda chaotic. But what I’ve learned is: if you check twice a week, and you stack them smartly, you can stretch your resources a lot further.

And honestly? There’s something fun about hunting these down. Like you’re cracking a secret dev puzzle. Or, more likely, just obsessively refreshing Discord at 1 a.m. while waiting for your undead to finish crafting in the soul forge.

Either way—worth it.
