'Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2' Launches with 12 New Maps
Popcap Vancouver recently released a brand-new trailer for its upcoming shooter game, "Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2." The latest video showcases a dozen maps that will be available to players upon launch.
"Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2" producer Kyle Duncan unveiled the new trailer (below) at Sony's PlayStation Blog last week. Duncan says the new maps will allow players to explore the new "PvZGW2" world, including Suburbia and beyond.
"One of our key development goals for Garden Warfare 2 was to allow players to immerse themselves in the world of Plants vs. Zombies like never before," Duncan said. "We wanted players to experience what has happened since Dr. Zomboss turned the tide of the battle with the help of that pesky little Imp from the future and his mighty Z-Mech."
