Konami Unleashes Neverdead
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today launched the third-person action title NEVERDEAD in North America for PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.

Moving through life without aspirations other than where he will find his next drink, he fights alongside his partner Arcadia for the National Anti-Demon Agency (NADA), exterminating modern day demonic forces. Players make use of the hero’s immortality to tackle obstacles featuring the new and often gruesome decapitation and regeneration mechanic.
