Graveyard Keeper 2 has made waves in the gaming community with its recent announcement at the Triple-I Initiative. To commemorate this exciting development, the original game was offered free of charge for a limited time, a strategic move designed to familiarize new players with the series while simultaneously generating buzz for the upcoming sequel. This initiative has proven fruitful, as noted by Alex Nichiporchik, CEO of publisher Tinybuild, who shared on Twitter that the original title has generated nearly 0,000 from DLC sales on Steam alone, where the DLC is currently available at an enticing 80% discount.
While the giveaway for the base game has concluded, its primary goal was to spotlight the forthcoming sequel, and it appears to have achieved that objective. In a follow-up tweet, Nichiporchik revealed that Graveyard Keeper 2 has secured a spot among Steam’s top 100 most-wishlisted games, amassing an impressive 450,000 wishlists.
Community Concerns Addressed
However, the announcement has not been without its share of apprehensions. Some players have expressed concerns regarding the artistic direction of Graveyard Keeper 2, fearing that it might veer away from the original’s distinctive style in favor of a more generic, AI-generated aesthetic. In response to these worries, the developers have reassured fans that “we’re not using AI in Graveyard Keeper 2,” emphasizing their commitment to maintaining the game’s unique character and charm.
