Graveyard Keeper II Announced for 2026 as Original Goes Free to Keep Through April 13

The free first game serves as a funnel for a sequel built around large-scale combat plus town rebuilding.

Overview

  • The sequel, which was announced Thursday at the Triple-I Interactive showcase, targets a 2026 launch on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch, Switch 2, and PC.
  • To promote the reveal, Graveyard Keeper is free to keep on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox until April 13 with no PS Plus or Game Pass required.
  • tinyBuild says players now act as the Grand Inquisitor who restores a town, automates production with zombie workers, and leads undead armies against a looming apocalypse.
  • Features highlighted include fortified towers, larger battles, crafted armor and weapons, and expanded town-management systems beyond the original’s scope.
  • The first game’s strong footing—over four million sales reported, high user ratings, and typical playtimes of 50–75 hours—sets up a larger audience for the follow-up.
