After a PEGI rating dating back to August last year suggested Graveyard Keeper would be surfacing on the Switch, tinyBuild has now confirmed the medieval cemetery management sim, developed by Lazy Bear Games, is indeed on its way to Nintendo's hybrid platform.
The announcement is about as weird as they come, with a tweet and video informing players to head down to PAX East 2019 to play Graveyard Keeper on the Switch in an actual coffin.
As we previously noted, the game requires players to manage their own graveyard while taking advantage of all the resources at their disposal to expand into other ventures. The game raises ethical dilemmas and includes plenty of gathering, crafting and questing. Like all respectable medieval-themed games, there is also the chance to explore mysterious dungeons and discover new alchemy ingredients to poison the entire village.
Take a look at the original launch trailer at the top of the page and tell us if you would be interested in playing this game.

I’ve always wanted to use corpses as fertilizer. Now’s my chance!
The game looks awesome!
Finally, the Stardew Valley we REALLY want
Imagine physical version with the sticker of the cartridge being tombstone engraving and the case box art being a coffin with inside art as a coffin as well.
This game can freaking grab you, same as Stardew Valley. I havent played since early access, so I hope they made the late game more entertaining. Not that it was bad. Just monotonous.
This looks good, adding it to watch list. Gotta see a review first. Plus it’s basically a Stardew Clone (which I already own).... owning a graveyard does sound fun though lol.
"Are you nervy, irritable, depressed, tired of life? Keep it up."
I feel like the specifics of gravekeeping could've been extrapolated further, rather than adding regular busywork farming elements. But people do love those, and this does seem pretty adorable, so I will keep an eye on it!
The artstyle looks beautiful so I'll probably buy it... but my backlog is already packed with stuff I need to play...
Has this game gotten any better? Was reading some mediocre reviews on Steam a while back. Maybe they added some content since then.
Looks more my style than stardew which I never really enjoyed, sorry
I was excited when this was first teased. This is a definite for me.
wow! never heard of this, looks interesting!
Played it a bit when it arrived on Xbox Game Pass but didn't grab me like I expected it to and I'm not sure why. I do need to go back to it. Having it portable would be enticing though.
As long as it comes on Cart I will get it no more eShop as they are now choosing to go Cart as that will sell more.
Being an actual graveyard administrator in real life, I am rather interested!
And my boyfriend almost bought it on Steam.
Let's see how it is prized since it got pretty mixed reviews.
Best new goth game 2019?
I was actually searching the eshop store just a day ago looking to see if this game was on there. I can't wait to get it.
I take it there’s no release date yet?
Yes yes yes i was so excited when i heard this news. When I first saw the original trailer I was steaming that it didn't say coming to switch. All steam set aside now thank you very much!
Wasn’t asking for this; glad someone did! Day 1
Why haven’t they made this with tired 8-bit graphics? This new-fangled, gorgeous art design is messing with my non-existent nostalgia!
Looks like I could have fun with this but it also looks barren and lifeless.
This has slightly better graphics compared to MoonLighter.
Loved this when I had the Xbox pass, stoked for a release finally
Hurry release would ya....don't wana eShop want Physical cart.
Played this a bit last night, it’s good! Little more difficult to start than Stardew as it’s not as straight forward, but otherwise it’s good!
