Stupid Never Dies, GPTRACK50's debut action RPG, is set to launch on October 22 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam. The game stars Davy, a cowardly zombie, and was playable at gamescom 2026.
Stupid Never Dies is the debut title from GPTRACK50, an Osaka studio founded in October 2022 by Hiroyuki Kobayashi, a former Capcom producer known for the Resident Evil and Devil May Cry series. The game was first announced in June 2026 with a fall release window, a key visual, and a second trailer. It is a single-player 3D action RPG for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam.
The story follows Davy, a cowardly zombie considered the weakest in the monster world, who falls in love with a frozen woman named Julia and ventures into a monster-filled dungeon to revive her. Combat relies on Style Eat, which lets Davy devour enemies and steal their abilities, granting 11 transformation styles including werewolf, harpy, and golem. A second system, Body Hack, allows players to modify Davy's body with gear. The June announcement introduced supporting characters and bosses, while the July release date reveal added theme song details. At gamescom 2026, a hands-on preview described the demo's opening, where Davy rides a robot vacuum to a toilet that sucks him into the dungeon, and highlighted how the style-switching loop and absurd premise work together.
The game is co-published by Sega and GPTRACK50. The standard edition costs 7,689 yen, and the digital deluxe Gorgeous Baka Edition costs 8,789 yen. The opening theme, Stupid Never Dies by DAVY & JULIA, and the ending theme, Restless, Reckless, Never Die, Fearless by DAVY, began streaming on August 4.
