Look, let's be honest, we all love a bit of Stardew Valley, but what if you fancied running a medieval graveyard instead? Well, the sequel to Graveyard Keeper is landing on September 23.

TinyBuild dropped the release date for Graveyard Keeper 2 during the Gamescom 2026 Future Games Show on August 27. The game launches on September 23 and will feature Korean subtitles. Platforms include PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S. Pre-orders are live right now, offering a cheeky sauna to melt away the fatigue and some snazzy outfits as a bonus.

Graveyard Keeper 2 sticks to its roots by focusing on medieval cemetery management. The developer shifts the tone as the player steps into the shoes of the Grand Inquisitor, leading an undead brigade into battle and embarking on a quest to save the kingdom from a zombie apocalypse.

You will be building and managing your very own medieval graveyard, squeezing out maximum efficiency through automation. Towers and fortresses need constructing, weapons and armor crafting, and that lovely undead army growing. Let us not forget rebuilding the kingdom's foundation village either. You can lend a hand to the locals, fix up houses, and pocket a nice little profit. Naturally, higher profits are unlocked here too, thanks to zombie-powered automation.
