2K Games announced the first DLC for upcoming RPG shooter Borderlands, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned. Following on the popular zombie movement, Dr. Ned is tasked with keeping the workers of Jakobs Cove alive, and does his job a little too well. Zombies and  other abominations run rampant on the island in what will be considered a “full-fledged expansion”.

The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned will bring “new enemies, new quests and rare loot drops”, will cost $10 (or 800 MS points) and will be available later this year.

Borderlands is an original first person role playing shooter that combines the intuitive reward systems of action role playing games and the frantic-paced shooting combat of the first person shooters. The game features a groundbreaking content generation system allowing for near-endless variety in weapons and item drops. Borderlands allows for 4 players to play together online in co-op play. It will be available for Xbox 360 and PS3 on October 20th, and slightly later for PC on October 26th.
