Graveyard Keeper 2 released this week for Nintendo Switch and the newer Nintendo Switch 2, and the developer has published an official launch trailer to coincide with the release.
The sequel follows the original Graveyard Keeper, developed by Lazy Bear Games and first published in 2018 by tinyBuild, a title that helped establish the series' darkly comic take on life-after-death resource management.
According to the official materials accompanying the launch, Graveyard Keeper 2 keeps the series' core loop intact while expanding its systems for managing a medieval cemetery.
The developer describes gameplay that centers on burying and briefly interring corpses to raise them as undead assistants, gathering materials such as hearts, bones, and other biological components to build and command a zombie workforce.
Players will also farm, tend livestock, craft machinery, and automate production to grow their graveyard's output and support a struggling town.
Rewriting the publisher's key points in journalistic terms: the game returns with its trademark macabre humor and graveyard management mechanics, a sprawling town to explore and restore, and deeper automation and crafting systems that let players scale operations and monetize their work.
The official overview also highlights expanded travel across varied locations using an in-game city map and promises persistent progression through storyline-driven quests, trading, and character customization.
The launch trailer is available now via the developer and publisher's official channels and is linked from the game's Nintendo eShop pages for both Switch platforms.
The title is being offered digitally on the Nintendo eShop, allowing players to purchase and download directly to their consoles.
Publisher-supplied marketing notes for the release reiterate the series' unique tone, branding Graveyard Keeper 2 as a deliberately irreverent medieval cemetery simulator.
The publisher also states the first entry in the franchise reached more than ten million players, a milestone they cite while promoting the sequel.
For players tracking new releases on Nintendo hardware, Graveyard Keeper 2 is now present on both the original Switch and the Switch 2 eShop storefronts.
Watch the launch trailer on official channels and consult the Nintendo eShop for regional pricing and download availability.
