Graveyard Keeper 2, the long-awaited sequel to Lazy Bear Games’ cult-hit medieval cemetery management sim, launches today on Steam alongside PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. Published by tinyBuild, the game is available now at $24.99 USD with a 20% launch discount bringing the price down to $19.99 USD for a limited time.
What’s New in the Sequel
The original Graveyard Keeper (2018) carved out a devoted following with its blend of dark humor, capitalism satire, and hands-on corpse management. The sequel expands on every front. Players now take on the role of the Grand Inquisitor, tasked with restoring a sprawling town overrun by the undead — and turning that zombie problem into a profitable enterprise.
Key additions include:
- Undead Army Combat — Build towers and fortifications, craft armor and weapons, and lead your zombie troops into battle against the undead horde threatening the realm.
- Town Rebuilding — Help townsfolk restore their homes and complete quests, while your zombie workers handle the heavy lifting behind the scenes.
- Deeper Automation — Harvest flora, fauna, and human remains to build extraordinary machinery and automate production on a scale the original never attempted.
- Unhinged Humor — Grotesque characters, a twisted storyline, and the series’ signature dark comedy return in full force.
A Zombie-Powered Business Sim
At its core, Graveyard Keeper 2 remains what made the original special: a game about the spirit of capitalism, medieval style. Bury corpses, harvest resources, craft goods, and expand your graveyard empire — all while navigating the absurd moral landscape of a world where the dead don’t stay dead. The sequel adds structured zombie-based automation systems that let you transform local efforts into scalable, profitable operations.

Lena Nakamura begins every review with one question: what is this game doing that nobody else would attempt? She covers roguelikes, narrative experiments, striking art direction, and games willing to risk failure in pursuit of something original. Familiar ideas do not bother her, but safe execution does. If a game is beautiful, strange, and slightly impossible to explain, Lena is already interested.
