Devil May Cry and Resident Evil veterans are making a new zombie action RPG, and I'm picking up some Lollipop Chainsaw vibes

No, that wasn't a Lollipop Chainsaw 2 trailer you just saw at The Game Awards, but it might be the next best thing.

Stupid Never Dies, the first game from NetEase-owned studio GPTRACK50, revealed itself with a stylish trailer that already has me hungry for more. Even if it is the studio's first game, the talent behind the action RPG is undeniable with multiple former Devil May Cry, Dragon's Dogma, and Resident Evil developers are attached to the project.

Per the official Steam page, Stupid Never Dies is a love story that follows Davy a "bottom-rung zombie" in his quest to bring the human girl he has fallen in love with, Julia, to life. So I'm also getting Warm Bodies vibes, which is even more in favor of this game rocking. This adventure will take Davy through a monster-infested dungeon that doesn't stop at just zombies. GPTRACK50 teases those monsters will include "Werewolves, Lizardmen, and Skeletons."

As for the gameplay, the trailer shows off some slick action fare with Davy running, slashing, diving into all sorts of enemies. You'll be able to steal enemy abilities and use them to tweak your undead build to your liking. This is an interesting aspect of the game that is sure to lend itself to the tight and fast-paced combat the trailer shows off, which is appropriately arcadey. Stupid Never Dies is in good hands considering veteran Capcom producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi and Devil May Cry 4 programmer Shinya Shigeyoshi are both attached.

Stupid Never Dies is set for a 2026 release.

James Gunn and Suda51's cult classic Lollipop Chainsaw is being turned into an anime, but neither of the original creators are involved.
