The cult favorite title Plants vs. Zombies is making a grand comeback with an enhanced and polished edition named Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted. PopCap Studios has revealed the game’s launch trailer, highlighting some of the remastered improvements. Keen-eyed fans might even notice a cameo from one of Half-Life’s famous Headcrabs.

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted mainly acts as a visual renovation for the original PvZ title, delivering an HD facelift to its already colorful and quirky environments. Every aspect of the original game is preserved, including cherished minigames like Walnut Bowling.

The remaster unveils new features, such as local co-op gameplay with a friend and a PvP mode where one player commands the zombies. Nintendo Switch 2 players can enjoy both modes with a single game copy, courtesy of the system’s GameShare capability.

Furthermore, Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted introduces two entirely new modes that greatly modify the game’s mechanics. Cloud Day Mode brings weather effects that influence the battlefield, necessitating strategic planting as sunlight becomes scarce. Clouds may also induce sleep in sunflowers, introducing an element of surprise to the gameplay.

The Rest in Peace mode offers a roguelike challenge with Permadeath, where a single error could necessitate a restart from the beginning.

In addition, the game features a new Art and Concept Library, showcasing previously unseen pre-production sketches and insights into the game’s evolution.

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is scheduled for release on October 23 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, and PC, available for $19.99 on all platforms.
