First Borderlands DLC announced, features zombies and mad doctors

Being excited about Borderlands' imminent release is so last week. Now it's all about the zany RPG-shooter's upcoming DLC, which looks - to us, anyway - very Halloweeny (tee-hee!). Want to know more? Of course you do! So here's a description:

"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."

$9.99's the asking price for this co-op undead slaughter-fest. Left 4 what now? We don't even know!

Giant Bomb managed to scare up a few screens of the creepy crawly content, should you wish to spoil Borderlands' main course by nibbling at a bit of desert first.

The DLC's out "later this year."
