Don’t front, you know 2K Games’ upcoming RPG shooter Borderlands looks incredible. Not only does it include a co-op mode that’s shaping up to be kickass, developers Gearbox Software have decided to tell gamers worldwide that they have a new downloadable content (DLC) on the way. Not just some ordinary costume DLC either, it actually involves zombies — curing zombies to be precise.
Get the latest and greatest on Borderlands inside.
The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is the first piece of DLC from Borderlands. The following is an extract from the press release we received today:
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 good to us. Check out the screenshots below, unfortunately they don’t help to quell the brewing hype inside of me. That is sort of a good thing though.
Borderlands is scheduled for release on October 20 in North America, and 23rd everywhere else.
If the game is as good as I’m hoping it will be, I’ll definitely have to pick this up.
It looks cool, although it’d be nice to see a new idea for DLC, rather than the streams of zombie content we get at the moment. WAW i’m looking at you.
The ingame previews and screenies I’ve seen of this game all look so “cartoony” compared to other FPS’s coming out.
Zombies? another stab at originality’s back
As long as its not more bandits, I could care less if its zombies.
