EA and PopCap resurrect original Plants vs. Zombies in October

One of the surprise announcements at today’s Nintendo Partner Direct was the reveal of a new Plants vs. Zombies game — or, to be more exact, a remaster of one. PopCap and Electronic Arts revealed Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted, which launches on October 23 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC via the EA App, Epic Games Store and Stream.

This new version of Plants vs. Zombies gets a graphical refresh as well as a number of fresh game modes. One of those is local co-op and PvP, letting players battle each other from the couch. It also has two new modes: Cloudy Day, which limits sunlight to add an extra layer of difficulty; and Rest in Peace, a permadeath mode.
