REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

announced Plants vs. Zombies™ Garden Warfare will be
available on Origin and other retailers for PC beginning June 24. Dubbed
"a fun, refreshing family-friendly take on the multiplayer shooter"
from New York Daily News, Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare
is a best-in-class multiplayer third-person shooter, with all the fun
and humor of the wildly popular Plants vs. Zombies franchise.
Since its launch earlier this year on Xbox One and Xbox 360® video game
and entertainment system, Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare
has attracted global attention as critics and fans praised the game for
being an unconventional shooter with a flawless blend of humor.

platforms, and can't wait for PC players to join the party this summer,"

side and square off in riotous combat against their plant or zombie

of zany characters such as Ice Cactus and the Marine Biologist.
