Stupid Never Dies plunges players into a world where monsters are just part of everyday life. You’ll take on the role of Davy, a low-ranking zombie on a heartfelt quest to revive Julia, the frozen human he loves, by braving a deadly dungeon. The game is developed by GPTRACK50 Inc., a new studio founded by industry veteran Hiroyuki Kobayashi, known for his work on iconic titles like Devil May Cry, Dragon’s Dogma, and the Resident Evil series.
Despite Kobayashi’s action-heavy background, he describes Stupid Never Dies as a “non-Kobayashi like” project, aiming for a stylized, gameplay-first approach built in Unreal Engine 5, rather than photorealistic graphics. Players can expect “fast-paced combat packed with innovation,” including the ability to steal enemy abilities and customize Davy’s undead body with “bizarre upgrades.” The game is designed to be a single-player experience, focusing on character growth and RPG mechanics alongside its action elements.
The announcement trailer, which debuted at The Game Awards 2025, is presented in a music-video style, showcasing protagonist Davy and heroine Julia performing to the game’s theme song. It perfectly captures the fast-paced, pop-punk energy GPTRACK50 is aiming for.
The gaming community is already buzzing about Stupid Never Dies, largely thanks to its distinctive visual style and the pedigree of its developer. Many are drawing comparisons to the early 2000s pop-punk aesthetic, with some noting it feels like an “Avril Lavigne music video got an undead AMV.” The promise of a “blazing fast growth” action RPG from a team with such a strong background in the genre has set expectations high for a title that offers both style and substance. Gamers are particularly intrigued by the unique zombie protagonist and the blend of action with RPG progression.
If you’re a fan of stylish action RPGs, unique aesthetics, and the idea of a zombie protagonist on an epic quest, Stupid Never Dies is definitely one to watch. With a release planned for on PC and PS5, GPTRACK50 is gearing up to deliver a fresh take on the genre that blends veteran development talent with an undeniable pop-punk charm. I’m personally excited to see how the “blazing fast growth” mechanics play out and how deep the customization options for Davy truly are. Keep an eye on its Steam page for future updates and to add it to your wishlist!
