Plants vs Zombies Reloaded Rated for Nintendo Switch: PopCap’s Beloved Series Set for a Comeback

PopCap Games and Electronic Arts are poised to expand their presence on the Nintendo Switch, as a recent rating from Brazil points to an imminent release of 'Plants vs Zombies Reloaded' on Nintendo’s hybrid platform, alongside multiple other systems.

The listing, initially surfaced by gaming news outlet Gematsu, suggests that the iconic tower defense series is ready to engage a new generation of players on the Switch eShop and beyond. Launched in 2009, 'Plants vs Zombies' made an immediate impact with its unique blend of strategic gameplay and whimsical art style.

Originally developed by PopCap for PC, the title quickly gained popularity and was later ported to a host of other platforms, including mobile devices and the Nintendo DS.

Electronic Arts, after acquiring PopCap, continued to evolve the franchise with spin-offs such as 'Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville,' which was added to the Nintendo Switch library in March 2021. The potential arrival of 'Plants vs Zombies Reloaded' reflects EA’s ongoing commitment to supporting the Switch platform.

This development follows the noteworthy performance of 'MySims Cozy Bundle,' which debuted on the Switch in November 2024.

Speaking after its release, Electronic Arts stated that the compilation “exceeded expectations” in terms of player engagement and sales figures, further reinforcing the publisher’s confidence in the Switch user base. While official details about 'Plants vs Zombies Reloaded' remain under wraps pending a full announcement, the Brazilian ratings document provides a reliable indication that development is well underway.

Industry watchers will recall that ratings board leaks have historically preceded major reveals, often appearing before announcements during events like Nintendo Direct or official EA press updates.

The enduring popularity of Plants vs Zombies—and its seamless fit with Nintendo Switch’s accessible, portable gaming model—bodes well for both new and returning players hungry for tower defense action.

As one of the most recognized names in casual and strategy gaming, PopCap continues to update the franchise while paying homage to the lighthearted tone and addictive gameplay that made the original a household name. Fans and Nintendo Switch owners awaiting more Plants vs Zombies content can look forward to further announcements as Electronic Arts and PopCap share official launch details.

Given the success of previous PopCap releases and strong sales of EA titles on the platform, expectations are high for another hit entry in the long-running franchise. Stay tuned for updates on Plants vs Zombies Reloaded, including eventual release dates and new gameplay features, as additional information is made available by Electronic Arts and Nintendo.
