Konami has announced a new IP at their E3 Press Conference, entitled “NEVERDEAD”. We won’t be capitalising it like them because it looks odd. Regardless, it will be released on the PS3 and 360 at some point. A date was not forthcoming so we have no idea when it’ll be hitting the shelves, but it should be next year by the way the company was hyping it up.

It’s a third-person action adventure, taking place with the world under threat from a demonic plague. Evil has been gone for centuries, with a hero made immortal by demons. The demons return to present day Earth and they’re not very happy. As you may expect, the protagonist turns out to be the immortal hero and has to sort the problem out. To do so, there’s a butterfly design-inspired sword and guns, as well as regeneration.

“For NEVERDEAD, we‘ve introduced some truly exciting new forms of gameplay and sword fighting, including a unique healing mechanism originally designed and conceived by former members of Kojima Productions,” explained Martin Schneider, European Marketing and PR Director for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. “Their contributions, and those of the development team, have helped forge a great new action IP to add to Konami’s vast lineup.”
