'Plants vs. Zombies 2' (ALL) Gets Spooky With Halloween Event

The Plants vs. Zombies sequel will include a bevy of new features, settings, and situations, designed to delight the franchise's tens of millions of fans around the world.

Designed from the ground up as a live service, the ever-expanding universe of Plants vs. Zombies 2 continues the epic struggle of plants defending your brainz against zombies from your backyard through the vast reaches of time, both past and future. New worlds with new levels, plants, zombies and new ways to play will be released on an ongoing basis. Leveraging the touch interface of Apple’s mobile devices, Plants vs. Zombies 2 includes all-new touch-screen power-ups that enable players to “break the fourth wall” and interact with zombies directly, as well as via plant defenses.

Plants vs. Zombies 2 kicked off the 12-day Lawn of Doom event. Join spook-tacular Piñata Parties until November 1st and enjoy Lawn of Doom-themed plant and zombie costumes that will have you screaming with delight.

The event includes:

  • Two Special Edition Premium Plants available for a limited time including the haunting return of Ghost Pepper, a plant that has the ability to “haunt” zombies and produces a small spooky explosion on attacking zombies, and the brand new Jack O’ Lantern, a plant that can unleash a flamethrower attack across several tiles in a lane.
  • Get your scare on with 6 fully-themed plant costumes, including 3 collectible plant costumes you can earn through Piñata Party wins.
  • 6 costumed zombies, dressed to distress.
  • Win more gems, and coins!

Also returning for the sequel is Crazy Dave, the addled neighbor who serves as a guide for players and shopkeeper for special plant upgrades and other tools and weapons. New touch-screen power-ups, plant food that supercharges plants, and novel new game mechanics that both help and hinder players’ efforts to thwart the zombie hordes will enthrall existing fans and new players alike.

Free to download, Plants vs. Zombies 2 will expand and extend the classic gameplay of the original and provide players with dozens of all-new levels, plants and zombies across multiple worlds at no cost. While the vast majority of the game will be entirely free to play (players can face every zombie and access every level in every world at no cost), Plants vs. Zombies 2 players will also be able to purchase upgrades and other in-game items.
