Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 will feature solo play in a crazy “backyard battleground,” according to Electronic Arts’ announcement at the Gamescom 2015 press event in Cologne, Germany.

The zany combat shooter is a sequel to the original Garden Warfare, which was a multiplayer-only title. But this one features solo play in a huge backyard, which is a hub where you can do anything you want, including practicing combat or just exploring.
