Zombies Invade Borderlands

[Shawn Zipay]

The "first in a series of add-ons" for Borderlands was already revealed. Called "The Island of Dr. Ned" the $10 DLC will introduce the walking dead into the Borderlands mix.

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 ships on October 20 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. PC gamers will get to enjoy the game on October 26. Please note that all dates are for North America.

Not that they are withholding content from the original release

Re: Zombies Invade Borderlands

Not having this content won't prevent anybody from beating the game or playing the original game as it was meant to be played. This is the same thing as the Fallout 3 DLC. It's just bonus content that was started to be worked on after the actual game hit the feature complete stage of development.

I'm fully aware of that, I just hate this trend of develop extra content BEFORE THE GAME IS RELEASED and then charge more for it.

It makes people feel cheated out of the content regardless of whether another team developed it or whatever justification they use, which may well be the case but for me it comes across as money hoarding.
