Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted Leaks Reveal Gameplay Issues
▼ Summary
– Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted has leaked early through the EA app, with one person streaming it before the official release.
– Early reception has been negative due to numerous bugs present in the leaked version of the game.
– The official release is scheduled for October 23 on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, disappointing fans who were excited for the return.
Early gameplay details for Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted have surfaced online, revealing several technical problems ahead of its official release. An unintended leak on the EA app allowed some players early access, with one user even broadcasting their session live. Initial impressions from these early looks suggest the game is struggling with performance and stability.
Reports indicate that the development approach may be at the root of these difficulties. The game appears to be built using the Unity engine, but it is reportedly based on the older Windows Phone edition of the original title. This choice of foundation has left many observers puzzled, as it seems an unusual direction for a modern re-release.
This reliance on an outdated version seems to have introduced a number of glitches. Players who experienced the leaked build described it as plagued with bugs, raising concerns about the overall polish at launch. Many are hoping that Electronic Arts will deploy patches to resolve these issues, either just before or shortly after the game becomes available.
Another point of discussion is the use of AI upscaling for the game’s visuals. Feedback on the graphical enhancements has been divided, with some appreciating the sharper look while others feel the results are inconsistent.
Longtime fans have been eagerly anticipating the return of this classic tower defense game, making the early reports of technical troubles especially disheartening. For those still planning to purchase it, Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is scheduled to launch on October 23 for both the Nintendo Switch and the rumored Switch 2. A new launch trailer has already been published to build excitement.
