Plants vs Zombies 2: It's About Time coming July (it's about time)

Plants vs Zombies 2: It's About Time is coming this July

May 6, 2013 10:24 AM

Plants vs Zombies 2 now has a subtitle. Oh, and something resembling a release date. Plants vs Zombies 2: It's About Time is coming this July, PopCap Games announced on Facebook. It will be available this July.

We're assuming that the title serves a double purpose, going beyond just the frustrated demands of fans that have been expecting a sequel ever since the original game debuted in 2009. Time manipulation mechanics in a PvZ title would be cool--assuming it's not actually a first-person shooter, of course.

  Wait, there's probably still some platforms they haven't ported the original PvZ to yet!

    What happened to the original designer? Made billions of dollars and is too busy driving ferraris to make a new one?

        Honestly, I was shocked he hadn't already bailed like many others had.

    i don't think you can really mess up a sequel to a game like this... right?

      Exactly. It's not like it's being published by the most reviled publisher in history that has a mandate of forced mandatory multiplayer in all their titles.

        hey now, this game's online-only, micro-transaction model won't be that bad. "To load your saved game: like us on Facebook or watch this 30-second ad"

    yeah I was bummed when I heard he got laid off. He works for Valve now in their San Fran studio.
    
    I want to have hope for this game, but I can't help but feel nervous.

    It's like PvZ, except with more challenging fields, like Japanese window gardens, the ISS, and um... Mars? I don't know. It's probably pretty much PvZ with a few new units and a different house.
