EA and PopCap look set to resurrect the classic tower defense game as Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted, with a multi-platform launch on October 23, 2025. That release date comes courtesy of leaks from reliable insider Billbil‑Kun and Dealabs reporting. Platforms include Nintendo Switch (and Switch 2), PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The price? Around €19.99 (roughly $23 in the U.S.).
Fans noticed Brazil’s Ministry of Justice had rated a title called Plants vs. Zombies earlier this year, signaling early development. That listing included versions for mobile, too, but the title was apparently renamed Replanted before any public announcement.
New Modes, Co-Op, and Visual Upgrades Bring Fresh Life
Leaks hint at updates beyond HD visuals. Players expect bonus levels, concept art galleries drawn from fifteen years of history, and new twists like local co‑op and PvP modes—features teased in early coverage of the official site and trailers.
The gameplay looks very faithful to the original 2009 version, updated with modern polish: clearer graphics, smoother controls, and a tree of wisdom interface to flip visual options on or off. Preview descriptions mention mini-games like Wall‑Nut Bowling and two fresh modes: Cloudy Day limits sunlight, making strategy matter more; Rest In Peace tosses in a permadeath challenge.
Preorders appear to have gone live with pricing already visible on EA’s storefront—$19.99 in the U.S. listing. That fits the €19.99 leak. Some threads are buzzing about whether that cost fits the content on offer, sparking comparisons with prior releases and current entry prices in marketplaces.
Reddit and forums are lighting up with questions about post-launch updates or microtransactions. After Plants vs. Zombies 3’s poorly-received free‑to‑play model was shut down in late 2024, the upfront price here might reflect EA’s lesson learned—and some hope, no ad‑driven or pay-to-win elements sneak back in.
We still haven’t seen the official announcement, but many expect it soon—possibly at Gamescom in August or via another Nintendo Direct episode. With leaks lining up and the launch looming, the hype feels real. If all these features land as described, Replanted may become the definitive version of that original garden war.
