Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 Introduces More Ways to Play With New Backyard Battleground

VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PopCap Games, creator of some of the world’s most beloved video game

franchises and a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA),

today announced Backyard Battleground, an all new dynamic hub in Plants

vs. Zombies™ Garden Warfare 2. This interactive environment

connects players to every map and mode, and brings to life all new ways

to experience the Plants vs. Zombies universe through solo and social

play. As soon as the game starts, players will be immersed in a wild

playground with dynamic events and tons to discover and do. They can

invite up to three friends into their Backyard Battleground to do almost

anything they want – take on daily quests, complete missions for Crazy

Dave and Dr. Zomboss, interact with some of their favorite Plants vs.

Zombies characters, ignite an all-out war by crossing over enemy lines

and much more. The Backyard Battleground is an immersive hub unlike

anything that has been in a Plants vs. Zombies game before.

Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 is partnering with BioWare™

on an intergalactic pre-order*. Fans who pre-order the game will get

access to a new Grass Effect Z7-Mech when they start Garden Warfare 2.

Crafted by Dr. Zomboss, and inspired by one of the development team’s

most favorite videogame franchises, this mech will help ensure

Zomburbia’s galactic future. Gamers will have a blast playing with what

was built to be the best-looking bane of plants everywhere. The Z7-Mech

comes strapped with tools like the melee Zomni-tool, as well as

interlocking ceramic plate armor with kinetic padding. This character is

designed to augment tech, biotic, and weapons damage.

The battle for Suburbia reaches crazy new heights in Plants vs.

Zombies Garden Warfare 2. For the first time in franchise history,

zombies have taken over Suburbia and plants are on the attack. Each

faction has enlisted new characters to join the fight, including Rose,

an all-powerful sorceress from the past that can turn zombies into

playable goats and Captain Deadbeard, a crusty pirate that has been

adrift for hundreds of years. All the over-the-top fun takes place

across 12 new immersive maps that are bursting with personality and

humor, spanning everything from a Time Travel Theme Park to Moon Base Z. Plants

vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 taps into the heart of what fans loved

about the original and goes above and beyond to deliver the funniest,

craziest, most over-the-top shooter.
