The first downloadable content for NeverDead will arrive on the 22nd of February.

According to Konami the DLC, titled NeverDead Expansion Pack Volume 1, “expands the online element of the game, with a new playable character, three new challenges within the expanded Asylum level and two new online costumes for the game’s immortal hero, Bryce Boltzmann.”

The expansion pack will allow players to control Nikki Summerfield, a “fashionable, charismatic pop-idol,” within the co-operative online challenges of the game. It will also include three new challenges within the Asylum stage: Egg Hunt, Fragile Alliance and Onslaught.

Details for the new challenges follow below, along with screenshots from the DLC.

• Egg Hunt: Scour the expanded Asylum level for collectables scoring points by delivering them to designated ‘Score Zones’. Opponents will try to snatch any that you drop along the way, while enemy ambush points and environmental hazards at every turn up the ante.

• Fragile Alliance: A competitive race through a number of checkpoints spread across the map. Users can interrupt their rivals’ progress by attacking each other. This mode also sees the number of environmental hazards and enemy spawn points upped for additional challenge.
  

• 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.
