A lengthy hands-on trailer for Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare runs through the class abilities and explains the in-game economy of purchasing randomized sticker books with earned coins.
Think guns are getting boring in third-person shooters? Hardly. In the latest trailer for PopCap Games' Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, players will shoot dolphins.
Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare has been pushed to February 25, from its previous date of February 18. PopCap released a new dev diary to accompany the news, giving an extended look at the co-op mode.
PopCap CEO Dave Roberts and co-founder Jason Kapalka are reportedly leaving the company, effective this Wednesday. Fellow co-founder John Vechey will take over the lead role, and described his plans for the future.
In case all the shop displays and television commercials and themed movies and novelty songs and ironic sweaters and video game events and familial guilt haven't clued you in yet, tomorrow is Festivus. PopCap's celebrating in its own special way in Plants vs. Zombies 2, with a series of special 'Feastivus' levels coming to the tower defense from tomorrow.
Comparing a Plants vs. Zombies game to Battlefield is pretty darn weird and unexpected and confusing but hey, that's PvZ: Garden Warfare in a nutshell. PopCap today revealed the class-based multiplayer shooter's 'Gardens & Graveyards' mode, describing it as "a bit of a mix between of Battlefield's Rush and Conquest modes, intertwined with some tower defense elements similar to the original PvZ."
Part of the free-to-play-isation of Plants vs. Zombies 2 was locking certain levels off behind gates, requiring players to farm keys (ho hah!) or give in and buy them. That's gone with the latest update, which turns the maps linear and opens up those previously-locked levels. It's not all rosy though, as Gargantuar zombies have been brought back to assault your lawn.
Training in solitude is important, building patience and control, but true Peggle Masters are only formed in the heat of battle. To that end, PopCap plans to release a new free multiplayer mode for Peggle 2, bringing back the original's Duel with support for both local and online play this time.
Five videos show off the five different abilities you can unlock with the five Masters you'll be able to play as.
Peggle 2 is coming to Xbox One on December 9 for $11.99.
