Plants vs. Zombies is getting an HD remaster with co-op

SMRTR summary

Zombies beware: your old nemesis, the humble garden plant, is getting a makeover. The beloved tower defense game "Plants vs. Zombies" is sprouting anew on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 this October.

This remastered version, dubbed "Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted," offers more than just a fresh coat of paint. While the graphics have been upscaled, EA has also cultivated new levels and hidden secrets for players to unearth.

Perhaps most exciting for green-thumbed gamers is the addition of local co-op and PvP modes, allowing friends to team up or face off in botanical battles.

Early adopters who pre-order will receive a nostalgic treat: a retro Peashooter skin.

The game's resurrection on Nintendo platforms marks its first appearance since the DS era, potentially signaling a broader cross-platform release in the future. As the zombies shuffle closer, it seems the plants are ready to stand their ground once again.
