Remember we reported that Borderlands DLC was already in development? Well, 2K Games has sent word that the first DLC for Borderlands, titled The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, is now available for the Xbox 360 and PS3. The content can be downloaded from the Xbox Live Marketplace and the PlayStation Network.
It seems that every game these days is getting a zombie mode or something zombie-related. And The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is just the first in a series of downloadable expansions we can expect for the game.
“We are very excited to present fans of the highly acclaimed Borderlands with the first expansion,” Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K stated. “The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned presents a bold new storyline that entertains and excites, and simultaneously ensures that fans still receive the same great gameplay experience that made the original game a success.”
Dr. Ned has the job of keeping the workers of Jakobs Cove alive, but he goes one step further and creates flesh-eating zombies as well as other abominations, which now run rampant in the region. In the downloadable expansion, players have to work with Dr. Ned to cure the slowly decomposing residents of Jakobs Cove. The expansion also adds new enemies, new grueling quests and rare loot drops. Borderlands feature co-op integration which impeccably blends single player and multiplayer experiences.
Developed by Gearbox Software, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is available on the Xbox Live Marketplace for the Xbox 360 for 800 Microsoft Points, and on the PlayStation Network for the PS3 for a price of 6.29 GBP (approx. Rs. 485).
