New Studio and Game Announcement
Hiroyuki Kobayashi, a former producer at Capcom known for his work on franchises like Resident Evil and Devil May Cry, has founded a new studio named GPTrack50. The studio has announced its inaugural title, an action RPG called "Stupid Never Dies."
Game Premise and Mechanics
"Stupid Never Dies" features Davy, a zombie who falls in love with a frozen corpse and aims to revive her, inadvertently saving humanity. The game emphasizes aggressive combat, with Davy able to consume defeated monsters to steal skills and transform into creatures like werewolves or vampires. A "body hack" mechanic allows players to equip Davy's body parts with weapons, such as attaching a sword to an arm for sword attacks or a gun for shooting.
Creative Freedom and Studio Vision
Kobayashi describes the game as "funky zombie action," a phrase intended to guide the development team's vision for a fast, colorful, and darkly humorous tone. The establishment of GPTrack50 and the development of a new IP provide Kobayashi and his team of approximately 30 developers, many from companies like Capcom, Konami, and Square Enix, with greater creative freedom compared to working on established, large-audience franchises.
