Scheduled to arrive before summer starts next month, the upcoming Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 content update, titled Trouble in Zombopolis: Part One, includes Zombopolis, the biggest zombie city PopCap’s ever created.
Creative Director Justin Wiebe explained that the update sees Dr. Zomboss and the zombies plotting to build a Mega Zombot that, when charged, could destroy any plants. To go along with this, two new characters will be introduced: Toxic Citron, who must stop Dr. Zomboss, and Breakfast Brainz, a bacon-caped crusader.
You’ll also find over 1,200 new customization items for your plants and zombies, the return of the Boat Blast shooting gallery in the Backyard Battleground (with leaderboards), balancing and gameplay improvements, critical bug fixes, and more.
