PopCap Games today provided additional details regarding Plants vs. Zombies 2. Plants vs. Zombies 2 will launch worldwide on July 18 exclusively for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. PopCap today also unveiled a trailer for Plants vs. Zombies 2 which you can watch below!
Designed from the ground up as a live service, the ever-expanding universe of Plants vs. Zombies 2 continues the epic struggle of plants defending your brainz against zombies from your backyard through the vast reaches of time, both past and future. New worlds with new levels, plants, zombies and new ways to play will be released on an ongoing basis.
Leveraging the touch interface of Apple’s popular mobile devices, Plants vs. Zombies 2 includes all-new touch-screen power-ups that enable players to break the fourth wall and interact with zombies directly, as well as via plant defenses.
Also returning for the sequel is Crazy Dave, the addled neighbor who serves as a guide for players and shopkeeper for special plant upgrades and other tools and weapons. New touch-screen power-ups, plant food that supercharges plants, and novel new game mechanics that both help and hinder players efforts to thwart the zombie hordes will enthrall existing fans and new players alike.
Free to download, Plants vs. Zombies 2 will expand and extend the classic gameplay of the original and provide players with dozens of all-new levels, plants and zombies across multiple worlds at no cost. While the vast majority of the game will be entirely free to play (players can face every zombie and access every level in every world at no cost), Plants vs. Zombies 2 players will also be able to purchase upgrades and other in-game items.
Its about time! said Allen Murray, Senior Producer for Plants vs. Zombies 2. Were confident that players will see the love and attention weve put into this game. Weve created wild new ways to experience the plants and zombies you know and love as well as packing the game with tons of completely new content, and were still hard at work coming up with even more cool stuff that will keep ‘Plants vs. Zombies 2’ fresh and evolving in the months and years following launch.
