EA’s PopCap Games today announced that Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare will be shipping for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 on February 18, 2014 in North America and February 20, 2014 in Europe. Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare is an action-packed third-person multiplayer shooter that puts players in the shoes—or roots—of their favorite characters from the popular “Plants vs. Zombies” franchise.
“Gamers across the world have fallen in love with the Plants vs. Zombies characters and now they’ll get to see them in an entirely new light,” said Brian Lindley, producer on Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare. “Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare give the series’ fans and shooter players a fun, new experience that they’ll both enjoy as they blast, chomp and laugh their way through co-op and head-to-head online action.”
Powered by the Frostbite 3 engine, Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare has more than 10 maps and three distinct modes including two 12v12 competitive multiplayer modes called “Garden & Graveyards” and “Team Vanquish,” and a four-player co-operative mode called “Garden Ops.” In “Garden & Graveyards,” plants must defend their garden bases from zombies attempting to turn them into spooky graveyards. Players can also square off in “Team Vanquish” as they try to send the other team to the compost pile. For gamers that just want to have a fun time with their friends, they can work together in “Garden Ops” battling off waves of zombies on the attack.
