Graveyard Keeper Undead Edition Receives Physical Release on Nintendo Switch in March 2025

Graveyard Keeper, the darkly comedic graveyard management simulation developed by Lazy Bear Games and published by tinyBuild, is officially slated for a physical release on the Nintendo Switch in March 2025.

Marking a significant milestone for fans and collectors alike, this release makes the acclaimed indie title available in stores for the first time on Nintendo’s versatile hybrid console. First introduced to the Nintendo Switch eShop in 2019, Graveyard Keeper has garnered attention for blending management sim mechanics with a morbidly humorous take on medieval life and death.

Often described as a quirky fusion of Stardew Valley’s pastoral charm and macabre undertones, the game tasks players with running and expanding a medieval cemetery, all while navigating eccentric townsfolk and unraveling supernatural mysteries. The impending Graveyard Keeper Undead Edition consolidates the core game with all previously released downloadable content, offering a comprehensive experience for new and returning players.

Specifically, the Undead Edition includes the Breaking Dead, Game of Crone, and Stranger Sins DLC packs.

This definitive package ensures players receive the full spectrum of content that has continued to expand the game’s world and storytelling since its original launch. According to recent listings on major retailers such as Amazon, the physical edition will retail for approximately $40 USD, with regional prices set accordingly.

Publishing duties for the physical edition have been undertaken by Atari, a veteran in game publishing, which signals renewed investment in bringing indie successes to boxed format on modern hardware. This move represents a growing trend in the Nintendo Switch ecosystem of popular indie titles receiving physical releases.

Not only does this serve devoted fans who prefer tangible collections, but it also expands visibility for games that may have otherwise been confined to digital storefronts like the Nintendo eShop. A revised statement from Atari’s distribution team highlights the commitment behind the launch: "We’re excited to partner with Lazy Bear Games and tinyBuild to bring Graveyard Keeper’s full experience to physical format on Nintendo Switch, delivering the complete Undead Edition to longtime fans and newcomers alike." Pre-orders for Graveyard Keeper Undead Edition are now live through select retailers, and box art previews shared via Amazon underscore the unique aesthetic that has set the game apart in the management sim space.

As the March 2025 release approaches, anticipation builds among Nintendo Switch users eager to add this distinctive title to their physical collection. Graveyard Keeper’s continued success exemplifies the enduring appetite for creative indie titles on the Nintendo Switch platform, and the forthcoming Undead Edition ensures its legacy will endure both digitally and in physical form.
