The cute quirky humor of the Plants vs. Zombies franchises came into the 3D realm with Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare in 2014. The game was a multiplayer third- person shooter with a variety of plants and zombies to choose from. Though you could technically play one of the game modes by yourself, Garden Warfare was designed to be played by multiple people.

Garden Warfare 2 looks to expand on that formula with new plants, new zombies, and new maps and modes to play on. Some of the new plants include Kernal Corn, Rose, and Citron (which was a plant in the mobile-exclusive Plants vs. Zombies 2). On the Zombie side, we’ve got Superbrainz, Captain Deadbeard, and the Imp.

While it looks like there haven’t been many gameplay changes from the original game, that’s actually a good thing. No one thought the original Garden Warfare was going to be as good as it was, so there’s no reason to fix what wasn’t broken in the first place. All I have to say is that Gardens and Graveyards better be in there.

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is set for release in the spring of 2016 on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It will probably be rated E10+.
