“‘Never Dead’ was written specifically for the game, and the song’s lyrics and concept fit perfectly with its transcendental nature,” said Madelyn Scarpulla, Senior Vice President of Marketing & Creative Services for Roadrunner Records. “Megadeth and Roadrunner are both looking forward to the mutually beneficial marketing partnership we have established with KONAMI with the launch of NeverDead and Megadeth’s new album coming this fall.”
Konami’s NeverDead is a third-person action game set in the future and pits the player against supernatural enemies within a post-apocalyptic metropolis. The player assumes the role of Bryce, a demonic agent, who is assisted by a female companion named Arcadia. Together, the duo must combat a demonic plague that has ravaged the populace. NeverDead will be available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 later this year.
