NeverDead first DLC incoming February 21st

Posted February 8, 2012 by Simon Williams in News.

Konami have announced details of the first DLC for NeverDead – rather grandly titled the NeverDead Expansion Pack Volume 1 – as well as setting a release date of February 21st.

The first set of DLC for NeverDead will be available from February 21st, Konami have announced.

The NeverDead Expansion Pack Volume 1 will introduce a new playable character, three new challenges to complete in the Asylum level as well as two brand spanking new online costumes for long-suffering central character Bryce Boltzmann. Woo indeed.

Full details are as follows:

•    New Character: Play as the fashionable, charismatic pop-idol, Nikki Summerfield in cooperative challenges with your friends through online multiplayer.

•    Three New Gameplay Challenges – Revisit an expanded Asylum level with 3 all-new challenges:

- Egg Hunt: Scour the expanded Asylum level for collectables scoring points by delivering them to designated “Score Zones.” Make sure to hold on tight to your collectibles as opponents can snatch any that you drop along the way. With enemy ambush points and environmental hazards at every turn, this challenge is tricky!

- Fragile Alliance: A competitive race through a number of checkpoints spread across the map. You can interrupt other player’s progress by attacking each other. The increase of environmental hazards and enemy spawn points will keep you on your toes.

- Onslaught: Unlock the entire Asylum level section-by-section by defeating all enemies.. Demon-seals that block off areas will dissipate as you defeat enemies from the previous area, providing more-controlled player movement and encounters.

•    Two Additional Character Costumes: Dress Bryce up in these new costumes before going back into the online fray.

No info yet on the cost for Expansion Pack Volume 1 yet, either in real money for PSN or Microsoft space bucks for Xbox Live, but we’ll update you as soon as Konami ‘fess up.

Whether you’d actually want to spend more money on NeverDead depends of course on whether you agree or not with Jamie Donnelly’s thoughts on the game: go read his BeefJack NeverDead review and find out.
