Powered by Frostbite 3, Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare Combines a
Best-In-Class Multiplayer Shooter Experience with the Fresh Humor of the
Plants vs. Zombies Hit Series
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Prepare your peashooters! PopCap Games, a division of Electronic Arts
Inc. (NASDAQ: EA), today announced that Plants vs. Zombies™ Garden
Warfare will be shipping for Xbox One all-in-one games and
entertainment system from Microsoft, and Xbox 360 videogame and
entertainment system on February 18, 2014 in North America and February
20, 2014 in Europe. Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare is an
action-packed third-person multiplayer shooter that puts players in the
shoes—or roots—of their favorite characters from the popular Plants
vs. Zombies franchise.
"Gamers across the world have fallen in love with the Plants vs.
Zombies characters and now they'll get to see them in an entirely
new light," said Brian Lindley, Producer on Plants vs. Zombies Garden
Warfare. "Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare give the series'
fans and shooter players a fun, new experience that they'll both enjoy
as they blast, chomp and laugh their way through co-op and head-to-head
online action."
Powered by the advanced Frostbite™ 3 engine, Plants vs.
Zombies Garden Warfare features stunning, three-dimensional worlds,
blooming with vibrant colors and unique landscapes. The game has more
than 10 maps and three distinct modes including two 12v12 competitive
multiplayer modes called Garden & Graveyards and Team
Vanquish, and a four-player co-operative mode called Garden Ops.
In Garden & Graveyards, plants must defend their garden bases
from zombies attempting to turn them into spooky graveyards. Players can
also square off in Team Vanquish as they try to send the other
team to the compost pile. For gamers that just want to have a fun time
with their friends, they can work together in Garden Ops battling
off waves of zombies on the attack.
On Xbox One, Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare includes two extra
modes including local cooperative split screen and Boss Mode.
With split screen, players can team up with a friend on the couch to
fight against an endless horde of zombies. In Boss Mode, gamers
can utilize their Kinect or a SmartGlass device in any of the other
gameplay modes to support their teams. Players have a top-down view of
the battlefield and can help out their teammates with intel, health
drops, revive stations and explosive artillery strikes.
Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare is available for
pre-order at major retailers nationwide and at http://www.origin.com
for $39.99 for Xbox One and $29.99 for Xbox 360. A PC version will be
available at a later date.
