Graveyard Keeper 2 Live Status and Data Sources
Quick answer
Live Status and Data Sources for release facts, build freshness, and GK2 evidence labels.
Live Status and Data Sources
Graveyard Keeper 2 has reached its September 22, 2026 launch window. This page is the live source ledger for the planner: it separates release facts, build freshness, and evidence labels before any recipe, machine, quest, or worker value is treated as final.
The site can track live-build findings now, but exact recipes, inputs, output counts, machine timings, worker throughput, restoration costs, and quest quantities still need direct GK2 evidence before they are published as final values.
Current build status
| Field | Status | Evidence status | What players should do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Release date | September 22, 2026 on Steam. | Official | Use live-build pages, but check evidence labels before relying on exact rows. |
| Demo availability | Demo messaging and save-transfer context remain useful for older captures. | Official / historical context | Keep Demo-observed rows separate from live-build rows. |
| Current build | Live-build tracking is active on this site, but individual rows still need capture. | Verified only per captured row | Look for build/date notes on exact recipes and machine values. |
| Exact recipes and rates | Not final unless source-linked. | Unverified unless row-level evidence exists | Do not copy original Graveyard Keeper values into GK2 rows. |
Data source labels
- Verified: directly observed in a GK2 live build.
- Official: Steam, developer, publisher, release notes, or store messaging supports the claim.
- Demo-observed: visible in a recorded or documented Graveyard Keeper 2 Demo build capture.
- Player-reported: community notes or individual testing that can guide verification but must not be written as official rules.
- Unverified: useful planning context with no direct GK2 evidence yet.
Latest official baseline
The current public baseline is the Graveyard Keeper 2 Steam listing. It identifies Graveyard Keeper 2 as the sequel from Lazy Bear Games and tinyBuild, lists the September 22, 2026 release date, and describes broad systems including machinery, production chains, automation, zombie workers, town restoration, quests, and undead army combat.
Steam and official store messaging support the broad system scope. They do not, by themselves, verify exact recipe quantities, machine timings, unlock costs, worker throughput, quest hand-in quantities, or post-release balance values.
Why GK1 data is excluded
Original Graveyard Keeper recipes can explain why players expect certain systems, but they are not Graveyard Keeper 2 data. This site keeps recipes, crafting chains, machines, zombie workers, town restoration, and quest items connected, but every exact row remains source-gated until direct GK2 evidence verifies it.
Update policy
Open fields include exact inputs, output counts, machine cycle timings, worker throughput, restoration costs, quest hand-in quantities, and post-Demo unlock rules. Add those details only from official updates, release builds, Demo captures, or source-linked extraction.
Player workflow
- Start with the task: recipe lookup, quest blocker, machine, automation, zombie worker, restoration, or Demo/save-transfer context.
- Check the evidence status before using a row. Verified and Official rows are stronger than Player-reported notes.
- Keep Demo-observed rows distinct from live-build rows.
- Keep exact numbers out of final rows until a direct GK2 source supports them.
Failure modes to avoid
The main risk is treating the first Graveyard Keeper as a spreadsheet source for Graveyard Keeper 2. That would make the page look complete while giving players false inputs, timings, machine roles, or quest requirements.
Another risk is publishing placeholders as discovered values. If a quantity, rate, unlock, or hand-in count is not directly sourced for GK2, describe the open field and explain what evidence would close it.
FAQ
Can I use original Graveyard Keeper recipes here?
No. Original-game recipes can explain expectations, but this planner only treats GK2-specific sources as recipe evidence.
Why are exact inputs or output counts missing?
Because this site still needs direct GK2 evidence before publishing exact recipe rows, machine timings, restoration costs, and quest quantities as final.
What counts as a good source?
Official Steam information, publisher or developer updates, release notes, Demo captures, launch-build captures, and source-linked extraction can support visible claims.
