#Plants vs Zombies anniversary

It’s hard to believe, but Plants vs Zombies just turned 16 years old—a milestone that cements its status as one of the most beloved and influential tower defense games of all time. The original Plants vs Zombies launched on PC in May 2009, captivating players with its offbeat humor, addicting strategy mechanics, and unforgettable soundtrack. Despite this, EA pressed forward with ambitious plans, releasing Plants vs Zombies 2: It's About Time in 2013. That vision led to the release of Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare in 2014 and Battle for Neighborville in 2019. Whether it’s replaying the timeless levels of the first installment or diving into the zany chaos of Garden Warfare, the Plants vs Zombies series remains a pop culture mainstay. Sixteen years on, one thing’s clear: the plants are still fighting, and the zombies are still coming. EA has announced that Plants Vs Zombies 3 is being temporarily pulled from its soft launch, but fans of the popular tower defense series need not worry—this is only to give the development team time to make significant improvements. According to a blog post from the developers, the decision to pull Plants Vs Zombies 3 was made in order to give the team time to rework several core mechanics and improve the overall experience.
