PopCap Games’ beloved defense strategy game is set to make a high-definition comeback as Plants vs.

A Remastered Classic for a New Era
First introduced 15 years ago, the original Plants vs.
Zombies quickly became a household name thanks to its whimsical art style, engaging strategy mechanics, and imaginative cast of garden defenders.
Plants vs.
Zombies: Replanted returns players to the backyard battlegrounds for an updated experience, featuring visually upscaled HD graphics and a range of fresh features designed to enhance both solo and multiplayer play.
According to official materials, fans will be treated to "new secrets, never-before-seen franchise history, and a host of gameplay twists" that celebrate the series’ enduring legacy.
Replanted’s Remaster Features
Players can expect the original lane-based defense action, now presented in crisp HD on Nintendo Switch hardware.
The remaster introduces bonus levels and a suite of new content, including a challenging "Cloudy Day Mode"—which limits available sunlight and pushes players’ tactical skills—and the unforgiving "Rest In Peace" permadeath option.
For those who crave cooperative experiences, local co-op mode lets players join forces to defend the garden from zombie invasion, now boasting "100% more BUTTER," a nod to chaotic in-game antics.
Additionally, PvP fans can take control of the zombies themselves, battling friends head-to-head in local multiplayer.
Minigames like the fan-favorite Wall-Nut Bowling return, polished in HD with added chaotic fun, and completionists will discover an expanded Art and Concept Library containing previously unreleased sketches and behind-the-scenes content from the game’s development.
The Tree of Wisdom now features convenient on/off visual options, offering more ways for players to customize their gameplay experience.
