It looks like PC owners of the Gearbox Software first person shooter Borderlands will have to wait an unknown amount of time to access the game's first downloadable expansion. The game's publisher 2K Games announced that the The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned expansion will be released on November 24 for the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles. The Gearbox message boards have posted word from the game's community manager that " . . . this IS coming to the PC as well. No release date, but it was just confirmed for PC by 2K."

Just as a reminder, the expansion will give players a chance to "work alongside Dr. Ned as they embark on a quest to cure the inhabitants of Jakobs Cove." In this case "cure" likely means shooting up a lot of zombies.

It's hard to be optimistic about the future of PC gaming these days...another company decides to give PC gamers the shaft....Posted at 7:28PM on Nov 9th 2009 by David Black

Doesn't really matter, as the full game is big enough on its on, and the PC version will prob be free so no probs here.Posted at 8:47PM on Nov 9th 2009 by Cheesus Crust

I'm just sick and tired of being treated like a second class citizen. The trend of giving PC gaming some lame ass shovelware ports long after the game has come and gone on other platforms is simply insulting.

I'm not even close to exhausting the content of Borderlands... so whatever.

The real question should be "why DLC so close to release?" especially for a game of this magnitude. Posted at 3:47PM on Nov 10th 2009 by Royale

i cant wait for the game expansion coming out
i hope yu can still use the characters you have
i just finished the first playthru with my brother on co op and that was fine,
just playing it twice seemed boring by myself cos my bro got exam
got some new weapons here and there
but i hope its all good when the new one comes out
cant wait to snipe them with my level 42 sniper with 4x fire
i hope zombies can be killed with fire, or is it lightning

anyway cant wait and yes the game can be boring but what isn't

i have to play it on 800x600 setting on my laptop
