NeverDead – Releasing January 31st

Konami Digital Entertainment, today released new artwork for the upcoming action game NeverDead, scheduled to launch next week for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on January 31st, 2012. The new art pieces show Bryce fighting off demons and showcase other characters that appear in NeverDead.

The brainchild of Shinta Nojiri, who previously directed the Metal Gear Acid series, and co-developed with Rebellion Software, NeverDead stars an immortal hero named Bryce Boltzmann who, alongside his partner Arcadia, works for an agency tasked with defeating demonic incursions. While demons from the dawn of time emerge on present-day Earth, players take on the role of Bryce, the immortal demon slayer, as they seek and destroy the hostile invaders.

As the monsters become larger and more vicious, the side-effect of Bryce’s immortality is revealed. While attacked, players can be torn limb from limb, but can then reattach the severed parts to their torso. Even when all limbs have been removed, players can roll around as a head, looking to reattach lost parts.

Gamers can also use their amputated body parts as weapons, throwing arms into clusters of monsters, or lobbing their head into seemingly impossible areas to gain access to new sections of the NeverDead map.
