Quick answer
Most Graveyard Keeper 2 characters are new, but the official developer update says several familiar characters will return. It also clarifies that the sequel’s talking skull companion is not Gerry.
What is confirmed
The update establishes a mix of new and returning characters without publishing a full roster. It says the sequel keeps the same Keeper “not exactly,” references the original’s Stranger Sins DLC as context, and confirms several iconic characters return.
For returning players, this is a useful boundary: familiar faces are officially signalled, but character identity, availability, quests, shops, schedules, and outcomes are not. A trailer appearance alone is not enough for Keeper Atlas to create an NPC page.
Not yet confirmed
The complete NPC roster, character schedules, vendors, quest givers, relationship systems, and return conditions are not yet verified.
