GPTRACK50's debut title Stupid Never Dies is set to release on October 22 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, roughly a year after it was announced at The Game Awards. Sega co-publishes.
GPTRACK50 is an Osaka studio founded in October 2022 by former Capcom producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi, whose credits include Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, and Sengoku Basara. Its debut title is Stupid Never Dies, a single-player 3D action RPG about Davy, a cowardly zombie considered the weakest in the monster world, who enters dungeons to revive a frozen woman named Julia and take her on a date.
The game was first given a fall 2026 window in June, with a second trailer and key visual. On July 30, Sega and GPTRACK50 announced a firm October 22 date for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, along with pricing: 7,689 yen for the standard edition and 8,789 yen for the digital deluxe Gorgeous Baka Edition. Sega joined as co-publisher in July 2026. Theme songs by DAVY & JULIA and DAVY began streaming on August 4.
In September the rollout sped up. A third trailer ran during the September 3 State of Play broadcast, and the FIRST BITE DEMO went live on September 4, covering roughly the first two hours of the game with save data transferable to the full version. Sega then released DEEP BITE, a developer commentary video series, on September 11, ahead of a September 17 Tokyo Game Show 2026 stage event with voice actor Yuki Kaji and a screening at the SEGA PARTNERS IMMERSIVE THEATER. The action systems are consistent across the stories: Style Eat, which devours enemy cores to grant 11 transformation styles including werewolf, harpy, golem, vampire, and demon; Body Hack, which modifies Davy's body with OT Gear; Stupid Parry; and Davy Burst.
The short run-up from announcement to release was deliberate. Producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi and director Eiichiro Sasaki told Automaton that a long gap lets information go stale and lets players forget a new title exists, and that the team ran on veterans who keep delivery dates and costs in view.
