First DLC Announced – It’s Zombies!

synide — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 20:02:31 +0000

Worthplaying has the scoop on the first DLC for Borderlands, and it’s zombies! There isn’t much information, other than the excerpt and screenshots below, expect more info after the release madness next week. The DLC will be on all 3 platforms for 9.99.

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.
