"They'll see how accessible, yet deep, the gameplay is, and will get
endless hours of fun out of the game."

Remote Play during all their favorite multiplayer moments taking on
their friends and continuing to sow the seeds of victory.
Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare lets players choose a side and
wage an all-out war on their plant or zombie enemies in a variety of
gameplay modes and with a jaw-dropping arsenal of outrageous weapons.
The game features adored favorites in the series, such as the Peashooter
and Sunflower, along with a new cast of characters including Ice Cactus,
Hot Rod Chomper and all the Zombies players can get their hands on.
Players can jump into three distinct competitive multiplayer modes
including two 12 vs. 12 modes called "Garden & Graveyards" and "Team
Vanquish," or a four-player co-operative mode called "Garden Ops."
Split-screen gameplay and Boss Mode will also be available on
PlayStation 4.
An amazingly deep set of customization options gives players an
opportunity to personalize plants and zombies with fun costumes, items,
