You can already play a good chunk of Graveyard Keeper 2 without paying for it. The free demo is out on PC (Steam), PS5, PS4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, it runs three or four hours, and it stays up until 22 September. Your save carries over, so buy the full game and you pick up where you stopped.

Full release on 22 September

That's launch day too. Graveyard Keeper 2 lands on 22 September on the same platforms plus the Epic Games Store and GOG, again from Lazy Bear Games with tinyBuild publishing, the pairing behind the first one. Steam is running a 20% pre-order discount, and pre-ordering throws in an exclusive outfit and a sauna for your character's house.

Where it will be cheapest, we can't say yet: we haven't checked what that discount comes to in euros, and the sequel has no offers in our comparison so far. Since the demo keeps your progress, trying it first costs you an evening and nothing else.

What the sequel promises

More corpses, more grotesque locals and the same black humour, according to the developers, with deeper customisation and automation for the graveyard. The village is bigger and there's more of it to walk around, farming and livestock get new mechanics, and your character has upgrades and skills to unlock. Whether the story carries on from the first game, nobody has said.

The original and its three DLCs for under €7

If you missed it, Graveyard Keeper is a medieval graveyard management sim with a very dark sense of humour. You look after the cemetery, prepare the bodies, farm, craft, trade and run a couple of sidelines you'd rather nobody looked into. It has a few years behind it now: Steam users rate it Very Positive (33,991 positive reviews, 5,533 negative), though critics were cooler on it, with a Metascore of 69.

Right now it costs next to nothing. These are the figures from 15 September, read at 06:00 UTC, and they change daily. Steam has it on sale at €3.90, no fees, against the €19.50 it normally charges according to our records. The cheapest Steam Key is Eneba's, €1.81 with the coupon Gocdkeys10 (€2.51 with fees), global, and our Steam Key records have never shown it cheaper.

At these amounts the payment fee decides plenty. Eneba's €1.81 sits well under Instant Gaming's €3.09, no fees, for a global Steam Key, and at the till the two end up much closer: €2.51 against €3.09. Kinguin is €2.09 with the coupon SEPGOC10 (€2.61 with fees) for a global Steam Key, K4G €2.14 with the coupon GCDK14DEAL (€2.72 with fees) and Driffle €2.32 with the coupon GOCDKEYS10 (€2.80 with fees), both Europe-region Steam Keys. CDKeys.com asks €3.19, no fees. Gamivo also lists a Steam gift at €1.94 with the coupon GCDKGamivo (€2.76 with fees), which works out dearer than Eneba's key.

For reference, the monthly lows across all formats, before fees and before coupons, were €3.01 in April, €2.42 in May, €2.40 in June, €1.94 in July, €1.83 in August and €2.01 so far in September.

On Xbox, the Microsoft Store charges €19.99, no fees. Gamivo's Europe-region Xbox key is €13.61 with the coupon GCDKGamivo (€15.08 with fees). Kinguin lists shared accounts from €1.39 with the coupon SEPGOC10 (€1.85 with fees), but a shared account means playing on someone else's login, and the game never becomes yours.

Our advice: download the demo tonight, and if you never played the first game, buy Graveyard Keeper key on PC while it's this cheap. Whether you add the DLCs is up to you, but the whole lot comes to €6.76 with fees.
