For the first time ever the franchise will also offer online multiplayer. According to RG, the title will feature “a wide range of new and traditional multiplayer modes that play on the themes of paranoia, betrayal and heroism.”
Never Dead will hit stores on January 31st for Xbox 360 and PS3 and Konami has released a few screens from the Shinta Nojiri created title to wet gamers appetites. Yes, this is yet another hero battles demonic figures on earth game but there are a few different things here. For example, once the main character Bryce Boltzmann breaks down the demons via hand-to-hand combat or by throwing body parts, the enemy can seek new life by reattaching body parts. The decapitation and regeneration sounds equally scary and hilarious. We’re looking forward to seeing if Never Dead actually lives up to its lofty title.
