After years of silence regarding thePlants vs. Zombiesfranchise,it looks like EA and PopCap have plans to revive the beloved tower defense series. FollowingPlants vs. Zombies' pivot to more action-oriented gameplay in theGarden Warfarespinoffs, fans have long demanded that EA and PopCap return to the more accessible format of the first game. While it may not be the most tactical experience, its accessible mechanics and zany presentation proved to be a hit with both hardcore and casual players.
PerClassificação Indicativa,a recent age rating filing in Brazil seemingly confirms the existence ofPlants vs. Zombies: Reloaded, which, based on the title, is likely a remaster of the original 2009 game. The listing also specifies the game’s alternate name as simplyPlants vs. Zombies, further implying that it’s an updated version of the first release. As with all leaks of this nature, it’s worth taking it with a grain of salt until EA or PopCap officially unveils the project but age-rating listings have a solid track record when it comes to unannounced projects.
A Plants vs. Zombies Remaster Would Be Great
Making The Original Even More Playable
WhilePlants vs. Zombies' mechanics haven’t aged a day since 2009, the game’s technical presentation certainly has. While it’s still functional on modern devices,the resolution is extremely low and requires some extensive modding to accommodate widescreen monitors. It’s certainly not a dealbreaker for the community, but having a version of the game that simply works on contemporary computers and consoles would be a treat.
One also has to hope that aPlants vs. Zombiesremaster is a sign thatPopCap and EA are testing the water for even more games. Ever since the disappointingPlants vs. Zombies 2,a free-to-play mobile gameriddled with microtransactions, players have demanded a true sequel. As mentioned above, the franchise pivoted to focus more on theGarden Warfarespinoff series, and while those titles attracted an audience, the vastly different gameplayalienated the original community.

Returning To Plants vs. Zombies Would Be A Joy
Good Old-Fashioned Fun
I have many fond memories of playing the originalPlants vs. Zombiesat a friend’s house andI’ve often returned to it over the years for some casual, light-hearted fun. The chance to have that experience game with a fresh coat of paint is very exciting so I hope the leak does turn out to be accurate. Moreover, I hope it’s successful enough to reignite interest in the franchise and prompt EA to release a sequel that’s not a grind-filled slog weighed down by anemphasis on microtransactions.
