With the game not even in store shelves yet, 2k Games has already announced downloadable content for Borderlands. The DLC involves, zombies nonetheless. Entitled, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, is part of the first series of downloadable expansions that will expand the Borderlands experience. The expansion will be available for $9.99 or 800 Microsoft Points.

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.

Borderlands is releasing for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC October 20th. Check back for GamePlasma's review at the end of the month. Check out more screenshots below.
