- Plants vs. Zombies is making a triumphant return with a brand-new remastered edition.
- The original game is getting a fresh HD makeover alongside new content in PvZ: Replanted.
- Dive into local co-op and PvP modes, though a mobile release isn't confirmed just yet.
Plants vs. Zombies. A title that ranks alongside legends like Clash of Clans, Fruit Ninja, and Jetpack Joyride as a true mobile gaming pioneer. It's even a solid counter-argument whenever the tired "not real gaming" debate pops up. Now, prepare to journey back to 2009 with the upcoming Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted!
This is real news, not a joke or a rumor. The iconic tower defense classic is officially returning to mobile with a comprehensive remaster. Get ready for upscaled HD graphics, local co-op and PvP modes, and a whole garden's worth of new additions when it launches on October 23rd.
You can even test your botanical strategy with the new Cloudy Day Mode. If you thought you'd mastered PvZ, this mode challenges you with limited sunlight and restricted planting options for a true hardcore experience.

Classic mini-games are also making a comeback, delivering all the beloved PvZ gameplay you remember. Plus, the game includes a massive archive of behind-the-scenes Plants vs. Zombies content, offering a fascinating look at how PopCap Studios became a mobile gaming icon.
The only potential catch is the lack of clarity around a wide-scale mobile release. It sounds surprising, I know! So far, announced platforms (besides consoles and PC) include the EA App and Epic Games Store, which do have mobile versions.
If EA is indeed restricting this major remaster to third-party storefronts, that's significant news in itself. However, without a confirmed release for a dedicated mobile version of PvZ: Replanted, a slight shadow is cast on our otherwise sunny outlook.
Regardless, we have some time to wait for more details. In the meantime, why not explore our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
