Gearbox Software's post apocalyptic shooter, Borderlands, isn't even out yet, and already publisher 2K Games has announced the first DLC, entitled The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned. The DLC is going to set you back 800MSP, and it goes a little something like this:

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.

XG was lucky enough to see the game in action at the rAge expo earlier this month, and the consensus was that the role-playing shooter is like "diablo meets fallout in tank girl land". Sounds good to me!

For those who get their kicks from Mad Max style action, the wait is almost over... Borderlands is set for a local release on 23 October.
