Rumors of a newPlants vs. Zombiesgame are escalating, as one investigative team claims to know the name, launch date, price, and available platforms for the supposed next chapter in the classic tower defense series. If the rumors are true, players may be able to dive back into thePlants vs. Zombiesuniverse this fall.
The originalPlants vs. Zombiesmarked a major success for PopCap games, quickly surpassingPeggleandBejeweledas the developer’s biggest hit. The game also earned high praise from fans and critics, even earning two nominations at the2009 Spike Video Game Awards, the precursor to The Game Awards, which is now held each December.
Rumors of aPlants vs. Zombiescomebacksurfaced in March, following the Brazilian age rating of a project titledPlants vs. Zombies Reloaded. Now, new reports fromDealabs Magazinestate that a new game is indeed coming this year. However, the investigative team behind that reveal states that the game will actually be calledPlants vs. Zombies Replanted, and it’s allegedly scheduled for release on July 11, 2025. There is no official word that this game exists, but the reporting source states that it will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC for about €10, or a little under $12 USD.
Plants vs. Zombies May Get a New Game in October 2025
It’s not clear from the report whatPlants vs. Zombies Replantedwill look and play like. It is allegedly a “completely reimagined version” of the original tower defense game that was first released for PC in May 2009, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will return to that game’s 2D format. Two successful games in the franchise have followed that format so far, but thePlants vs. Zombies Garden Warfareserieshas had three games of its own, utilizing the classic characters of the mainline series in a 3D FPS environment. Additionally, 2016’sPlants vs. Zombies Heroeswas a one-on-one digital trading card battler that had players collecting heroes from both sides of the classic struggle between plant life and the undead.
If the rumors aboutPlants vs. Zombies Replantedare true, they could also throw the future ofPlants vs. Zombies 3: Welcome to Zomburbiainto question. The third mainline installment was soft-launched in 2020 and brought back in 2024, but thePlants vs. Zombiesgame was shut down for retoolingand has yet to see the light of day again. It’s possible that this new rumored game is the result of that retooling, but fans will have to wait and see before they can make their own comparisons.
