Stylish action RPG Stupid Never Dies gets release date, new trailer

GPTRACK50, an independent studio founded by veteran developer Hiroyuki Kobayashi (known for Dragon’s Dogma and Resident Evil 6 during his time at Capcom), has announced that its upcoming action-RPG Stupid Never Dies will release in October.

The studio revealed the news alongside a new trailer showcasing Phoenix Zaza Hotfeathers, a mysterious character who appears to be a central figure in the game’s narrative. The character design stands out visually, featuring striking fiery wings reminiscent of Johnny Gat from the Saints Row series, paired with a fashionable aesthetic. The trailer leaves the character’s role ambiguous—whether ally, antagonist, or morally complex figure—though the stylish presentation suggests a character designed to make a memorable impression.

With Kobayashi’s extensive background in action game design at Capcom, Stupid Never Dies represents the studio’s showcase of what a veteran developer can achieve in the indie space. The game’s visual style and character design indicate an emphasis on style and personality, marking it as a title worth watching ahead of its October debut.
