For the first time in franchise history, zombies have taken over Suburbia and plants are on the attack. Each faction has enlisted new characters from the past, present, and future to join the fight. Play your way through all new modes, discover unique gameplay features, and explore all-new maps.

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 and most over-the-top shooter – and that’s only the beginning. Garden Warfare 2 will also deliver free content updates to ensure Zomburbia stays fresh and action packed.

Community Challenges are a brand new way for plants and zombies to set aside their differences and work together to tackle in-game challenges that unlock major rewards – from coins to sticker packs and even exclusive items. Players can visit the in-game Progress-o-meter, a mysterious apparatus outside the Town Hall, to see if they qualify for the rewards, view the entire community’s progression in real-time, and crack open a community chest once a challenge goal is completed.

All of the challenges, rewards info, and the Progress-o-meter status are also viewable on the official PvZGW2 Community Challenge web site for players to track completion of the goals and rewards.

In addition to Community Challenges, Trouble in Zombopolis: Part Two also introduces timed Delivery Challenges, putting players in control of the Rocket Chomper or the Delivery Goat as they battle against time in platforming races with hot deliveries.

Finally, Trouble in Zombopolis: Part Two also features more character balancing & tuning improvements.

Fans have played a huge part in the development of Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2. As a thank you, all players of the original Garden Warfare will have the ability to transfer almost every one of their unlocked characters into Garden Warfare 2 right from launch, so they can jumpstart their new adventure with their favorite plants and zombies.

Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 reaches new levels of depth and fun. With fresh lawn-inspiring modes featuring plants on the attack, players can go on the offensive as the plants in an all-new 24-player Herbal Assault mode, or rally the zombies together and defend against the plants in the 4-player co-op mode, Graveyard Ops. Garden Warfare 2 also introduces six new character classes including Super Brainz, a zombie super hero who thinks he’s an 80’s action movie star, and Citron, a bounty-hunting orange from the future, for a total of more than 100 playable character variants. Each new character class offers outrageous powers and abilities that will provide an added layer of strategic depth to battles. All this takes place across 12 new immersive maps that are bursting with personality and humor, spanning everything from a Time Travel Theme Park to the final frontier.

Gamers can also play Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 their way. They can play multiplayer with or against friends or enjoy Garden Warfare 2 playing solo. For the first time, we’re introducing a unique solo play experience where fans can play every single game mode either by themselves against AI, or with the help of a friend in local split screen. Solo play will also offer a new twist on how gamers experience this universe with more details to come soon.
