Electronic Arts and PopCap Studios have officially released a new trailer for Plants vs.
Zombies: Replanted, marking the return of the iconic strategy game to modern audiences.
Launching digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch on October 23, 2025, this remastered edition delivers an updated experience for both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
Plants vs.
Zombies: Replanted brings an HD-remastered version of PopCap's beloved tower defense classic to Nintendo's latest consoles.
Celebrated for its inventive blend of humor and tactical gameplay, the original Plants vs.
Zombies quickly became a fan-favorite after its initial release in 2009, spawning multiple sequels and spin-offs across mobile devices and home consoles.
Now, with this enhanced edition, PopCap returns to its roots, revitalizing the backyard brawler with a wealth of new features specific to the strengths of the Nintendo Switch platform.
According to the official feature rundown shared by Electronic Arts, Plants vs.
Zombies: Replanted delivers fully remastered HD graphics, breathing new life into every pea shooter and zombie animation.
The original lane-defense adventure returns with added bonus levels, allowing players to face even more challenging waves and content.
New to this release is local cooperative play, letting two players defend their backyard together—boasting a quirky promise of "100% more butter" in reference to the series' iconic corn-launching plants.
Versus play is also included, enabling players to compete head-to-head by taking control of the invading zombies.
Collectors and completionists will be pleased with a refreshed Tree of Wisdom system, now featuring visual unlockables and easy on/off toggles for customization.
Classic minigames such as Wall-Nut Bowling have also been updated, offering enhanced visuals and unpredictable twists for added replayability.
For those seeking a fresh challenge, Plants vs.
Zombies: Replanted introduces Cloudy Day Mode—a tactical twist limiting sunlight for more strategic planting decisions—and Rest In Peace Mode, a rigorous permadeath option that restarts the Adventure if players fall to a single zombie mishap.
The package is rounded out with an Art and Concept Library, giving fans a rare behind-the-scenes look at early sketches and the creative history behind the franchise.
Plants vs.
Zombies: Replanted exemplifies Electronic Arts and PopCap Studios’ commitment to honoring their enduring legacy while leveraging modern hardware features of the Nintendo Switch 2.
With its broad array of updated content, accessible co-op, and robust single-player options, this HD remaster is set to delight both veterans and those venturing into neighborly defense for the first time.
