David Brown



If you were like me, you enjoyed Plants vs Zombies on not just one, but many of the systems it was released on. In the time it has been out, it has become more than a game. It has become a phenomenon, showing what is possible with a simple premise and some great characters.  Today PopCap made a major announcement concerning the future of the franchise.

In a press release today, they said "The sequel to Plants vs. Zombies is expected to launch by late spring 2013, and will include a bevy of new features, settings, and situations, designed to delight the franchise’s tens of millions of fans around the world." Aside from this, they didn't reveal any more details about the new game.

 

Initial reactions from some of the denizens of the Plants vs Zombies universe included:

“Spring is crullest curlie ungood time, and plantz grow dull roots,” noted an unidentified spokesperson. “So, we are meating you for brainz at yore house. No worry to skedule schedlue plan… we're freee anytime. We'll find you.”

“There was a time we relished a bracing, hearty blend of zombies, in the morning,” said Sonny F. Lower, a representative of the Flora Forever Foundation. “But first, a brisk shower and some strategic pruning are required. Tomorrow is near!”

Look for the madness that is Plants Vs Zombies next Spring and until then keep it tuned here for all the latest coverage. If you would like, you can also check out our previous Plants Vs Zombies coverage below:

We're also featuring a customized 'house' for tracking and sharing progress as well as a total of 21 mini-games and 12 achievements, all designed to enthrall Plants vs. Zombies players once again."
