Second Borderlands DLC Goes Beyond Underdome

On the same day we pass judgement on the first DLC pack for Borderlands, Gearbox Software officially announces the second add-on to the acclaimed role-playing shooter. After taking the heroes of Borderlands to the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, this time around they’ll be going down under.

Gearbox presents Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot, coming to the XBox 360 December 29th, to the PS3 on January 7th, and to the PC sometime not yet announced.  The Mad Max kitch abounds here, from the name to the content.  Don’t expect a new quest line with this expansion, it’s mainly adding three new arenas for player to slug it out in.

We’ll let Gearbox PR explain more fully:

“Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot is an intense single-player or cooperative experience that expands the mayhem by adding three new Riot Mode arenas where players will endure an onslaught of Pandora’s baddest enemies. Working together, players will fend off the masses as they fight for fame, honor, and more importantly, loot. Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot also adds a new bank feature, which allows players extra storage capacity for when they encounter one of the more than 16 million weapons that Borderlands has to offer; and the ability to acquire two additional skill points as quest rewards, making their characters even more powerful than before.”

Priced at about $10, the same price as The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, will you be ponying up the cash to play out any Mel Gibson fantasies on your console?
