Boy that was fast. Less than a week before the release of Borderlands on consoles, 2K Games has announced the first DLC pack, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, will be available for all the Fortune Hunters of Pandora before the end of 2009 for $9.99, aka 800MS Points, and be available for all platforms.
As the press release describes below:
Tasked with keeping the workers of Jakobs Cove alive, Dr. Ned (who is not related to Dr. Zed from Fyrestone) does his job a little too well, creating zombies and other abominations that now run rampant in this region. Players will have to work alongside Dr. Ned as they embark on a quest to cure the inhabitants of Jakobs Cove in this full-fledged expansion filled with new enemies, new quests and rare loot drops.
Sounds pretty sweet, though we don’t know the length of the content however, if we’re going to see episodic downloads ala Fallout 3 then players could have a lot to look forward to. For now we’ll have to wait till October 20th (or 26th if you’re holding out for the PC version) to take our first steps on Pandora.
Hell yes. I am so psyched for this game. And knowing that 2K is allready working on the post release support for this game, makes me hopefull that Borderlands will have a long life after you complete the main story.
ill be buying this dlc for sure
Best looking zombies EVER!
I think this is a good way to announce DLC. Letting people know before launch that there are plans in motion to fully support the game down the line with more content, but let people know that they’re going to have 1-2 months to enjoy and get immersed in the base game before having the opportunity to invest more.
