2K Games has announced today that the first package of downloadable content for Borderlands has gone live. ‘The Zombie Island of Doctor Ned’, as the content is known, costs 800 Microsoft points or $9.99 on Playstation Network. This first DLC package places players alongside Dr. Ned, who has turned the inhabitants of Jakobs Cove into flesh eating zombies and other abominations, requiring players to fight across the island in order to gain the situation under control. Five new screenshots have also been released. These can be found after the jump.

No information is available at this time regarding future DLC packages.
