  • Plants Vs. Zombies 2 Is Finally Available On Android

    Back in July, PopCap and EA launched Plants vs. Zombies 2 on iOS devices. It soon launched on Android devices down under, but the rest of the world’s Android devices had to wait. Now that wait is over.

    PopCap Games announced today that Plants vs. Zombies 2 is now available globally via Google Play. There’s no explanation behind the Android version being delayed well past any timed exclusivity period, but it may have something to do with PopCap integrating Google Play Game Services into the title. In fact, it’s the first PopCap title to do so.

    “With the arrival of Plants vs. Zombies 2 on Android, we’re effectively reaching a huge new audience of mobile players who have been eagerly awaiting the game,” said Tony Leamer, Franchise Business Director for Plants vs. Zombies. “We’re particularly pleased that the Android iteration of the game has all the great features and functionality found in other mobile editions.”

    Unlike the first Plants vs. Zombies title, the sequel is entirely free-to-play with its main source of revenue coming from in-app transactions. PopCap notes that the entire game can be accessed for free, and that the in-app transactions are only there for those who want to augment or enhance their game in some way.

    As was the case with the iOS release, Plants vs. Zombies 2 on Android will include three worlds at launch which encompasses more than 60 levels. PopCap promises that there will be more worlds and more levels coming soon as well.

  • Plants Vs. Zombies 2 Hits iOS In July

    PopCap, developers behind Bejeweled and other casual games, had never really created a game that could appeal to casual players as well as hardcore gamers. That all changed in 2009 with a simple tower defense title that pitted plants against invading hordes of zombies.

    Now four years later, PopCap is back to capitalize on the success of Plants vs. Zombies with the title’s first proper sequel – Plants Vs. Zombies 2: It’s About Time. The title could be referring to the fact that it’s been four years since the first game came out, but it’s probably alluding more to how time travel plays a large role in the game’s presentation.

    Plants Vs. Zombies 2 will launch exclusively on iOS devices as a freemium title in July. As you can imagine, the news did not go over super well with the desktop players who made the original game such a big hit in the first place. Most of the comments on YouTube are players deriding EA and PopCap for their decision.
