GPTRACK50, the Osaka studio founded by former Capcom producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi in October 2022, is set to release its first original IP, Stupid Never Dies, on October 22. The action RPG will be available on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, co-published with Sega. The game follows Davy, a cowardly zombie who falls in love with a frozen woman named Julia and ventures into a dungeon to revive her. Players use the Style Eat system to consume enemy cores and steal their powers, unlocking 11 transformation forms including werewolf, harpy, and golem. A second system, Body Hack, lets players modify Davy's body with gear to improve stats and skills.

The standard edition is priced at 7,689 yen, and a digital deluxe Gorgeous Baka Edition costs 8,789 yen. The opening theme song Stupid Never Dies by DAVY & JULIA and the ending theme Restless, Reckless, Never Die, Fearless by DAVY will begin streaming on August 4. The game was first announced with a fall 2026 release window in June, accompanied by a key visual and second trailer that introduced supporting characters Dr. Frank, biker zombie Bessie, stone statue monster Goil, and Chihuahua man Aserino, as well as bosses Ifrit, Wyvern, Bob Dullahan, and Phoenix Zaza Hot Feathers.

Kobayashi, whose credits include the Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, and Sengoku Basara series, established GPTRACK50 in October 2022. Stupid Never Dies is the studio's debut title and its first original IP, marking a deliberate move away from the AAA franchises Kobayashi previously oversaw.
