Electronic Arts (EA) and PopCap are teaming up for a new Plants Vs. Zombies game (well, sort of), with Plants Vs. Zombies: Replanted — a remaster of the original PvZ game released over 15 years ago in 2009.
Not only did we receive a trailer today, but EA has also confirmed that the game will be released later this year.

Plants Vs. Zombies: Replanted Sprouts This October

In the press release sent out, EA mentions the remaster will feature all-new game modes, never-before-seen elements of franchise history, new PvP modes, and more.
- Team up with a friend for local co-op or play against each other in PvP mode for a chaotic, unforgettable adventure.
- Test your brainz in Cloudy Day Mode, a brand new game feature limiting sunlight and planting abilities for a unique challenge.
- Enjoy classic minigames along with the series’ signature lane-based defense mode.
- Discover a treasure trove of never-before-seen Plants vs. Zombies archive content to understand how Plants vs. Zombies took over the world!
Those who pre-order the game will receive the Peashooter 8-bit skin.
Released in 2009 as a tower defense game, Plants Vs. Zombies achieved massive success and caught the attention of EA, which acquired the entire studio in 2011.
After its acquisition, the Plants Vs. Zombies brand saw multiple spinoffs on consoles and PC, such as the Garden Warfare series. While the franchise never achieved the level of success it had on mobile, it still garnered a loyal fanbase.
The last PvZ game released was Plants Vs. Zombies 3, which EA launched as a tower defense game on mobile devices last year.
Perhaps if PvZ: Replanted proves to be successful, EA might consider more spin-offs for the brand. The last we heard of any core game for the series was a rumor that Garden Warfare 3 was in development. This was over five years ago, and as we all know, that game never materialized.
