Lazy Bear Games studio has published the first full developer diary for Graveyard Keeper 2, in which they talked about new game systems.
Unlike the first part, zombies helping players with household chores will be available from the very beginning. Now they will be able to work in underground factories and operate semi-automatic machines.
At the same time, zombies will differ in skills and specializations, so players will have to make the lives of townspeople easier so that they sin more – the more corrupted a person turns out to be, the stronger the zombie will be made from them.
In addition to unpaid labor, the dead can be involved in defending the city from waves of wild cursed zombies. Judging by the presented images, this mechanic will resemble "tower defense".
The game's release is still scheduled for 2026.
