Graveyard Keeper 2 Wiki — Guides, Zombies & Town

Graveyard Keeper 2 launches on September 22, 2026. It is planned for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG, as well as PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. The Steam store page currently lists Windows as the only PC platform.

White skulls measure the burial quality of a corpse and feed the prestige of your graveyard. Red skulls represent corruption, and in the sequel corruption is desirable: the more corrupted a body is, the better the zombie skills it can develop once raised. Good Keepers process each corpse toward whichever of the two they need most.

Zombies are raised from corpses. You prepare a body on the autopsy table, manage its corruption through embalming and organ swaps, and then reanimate it. The resulting worker has its own skill growth and can be assigned to a role, from mining and farming to brewing and fighting.

Yes. The Town is the biggest addition to the sequel and was only ever referenced in the original. It is overrun by hostile undead, and you reclaim it district by district, restoring housing, shops and cafes. Restoration choices create new markets and unlock products to buy, so the order you rebuild in matters.

Early income comes from selling surplus body parts, crops and simple crafts, and from completing townsfolk requests. As soon as machines unlock, move repetitive production onto zombie workers so goods keep flowing while you explore. Reinvest the first profits into modules and machinery rather than hoarding coin.

Zombies operate semi-automatic machines in underground factories instead of only using basic workbenches. Once a worker is assigned and supplied, production continues without you. Skills improve over time, and workers can even earn names, so a well-managed factory becomes the backbone of a passive income empire.
