Did You Know? A Look Back at the Game’s History
Back in 2009, Plants vs. Zombies made its debut on PC via PopCap Games. The game was quirky, hilarious, and immediately captured the hearts of players worldwide. Who could resist sunflowers with big smiles or cone-headed zombies stumbling through the yard?

It quickly expanded to mobile in 2010, bringing the tower defense fun to players on the go. By 2012, PopCap was acquired by EA, and in 2013, Plants vs. Zombies 2: It’s About Time launched with new time-traveling worlds and inventive gameplay mechanics.

As for Plants vs. Zombies 3: Welcome to Zomburbia, the sequel has been in development since 2020. After a soft launch, the game went back into development for a full rework. According to the team, it will feature a fresh art style while staying true to the classic tower defense roots that made the series a hit.

If it's been a while since you last played, why not jump back into the original Plants vs. Zombies via the Google Play Store? And while you’re catching up on all things PvZ, don’t forget to check out our latest news on Honkai’s upcoming title, Honkai: Nexus Anima.
