On October 29, 2015, the two companies showed off more of the game, including variant characters brought over from the original game. In November of 2015, the game got yet another new teaser trailer where it showed off the Mech Z. This particular feature was reminiscent of the Titanfall mechs and will be playable in the new PvZ game. During this teaser trailer, the official release date, as well as the platforms for the game were announced.

On January 7, 2016 the company announced there was going to be a beta for the game that would be available to anyone on the Xbox One and the PS4. The beta ran from January 14 to January 18. During this beta, players were able to play in the Backyard Battleground, and they took on the modes, Gardens & Graveyards and Herbal Assault on the Seeds of Time and Moon Base Z maps. As certain players advanced in the beta, they were able to unlock other maps. The beta also hinted at other modes, characters and maps but did not allow people access to these, saying they were only available in the full game.

Story

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 takes place long after the war between the plants and the zombies had actually come to an end, with the zombies apparently winning that war. Suburbia, which has now been renamed Zomburbia has been decked out in a way in which the zombies are more happy with it but peace is a short lived prospect. For the first time in what has become a long running series, the plants are the ones that are going on the offensive and the zombies are the ones that are having to defend their turf.

Gameplay

There are a number of different modes that will be featured in the new game, as well as a number of different maps. Some of the modes have been brought over from the original game, while there are other modes that have been added to this game. The returning modes are as follows:

• Garden Ops
• Team Vanquish
• Gardens & Graveyards
• Gnome Bomb
• Vanquish Confirmed!
• Suburbination
• Mixed Mode

There are also several new modes, most of which are the zombie versions of previous modes that were more plant themed. The new modes are below:

• Graveyard Ops
• Herbal Assault
• Solo Ops
• Backyard Battleground
• Flag of Power
• Turf Takeover

The maps on which people can play are:

• Seeds of Time

The usual online multiplayer and cooperative modes have been brought back to the game, though PopCap and EA have tweaked how players get into these games. There is a feature known as the Backyard Battleground. This location allows players to edit their character’s abilities as well as choose quests and jump into co-op or multiplayer action modes. Players can also send invites to as many as three friends and start a party in the backyard. During this party, players will be able to take on waves of enemies with each eave becoming that much harder to stop. One other function of this mode is that players can switch teams and turn against their friends.

As far as how many people can jump into a game, Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 allows for as many as 24 players on an online map, and there is the ability for four player couch co-op. As with the first game, players will have full choice as to whether they want to take on the role of the zombies, or the plants.
