Plants Vs. Zombies: Replanted Adds Local Co-Op and PvP

The beloved tower defense game Plants vs. Zombies is sprouting up once again, this time on Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2 with a fresh release titled Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted. Slated to arrive before the month ends, this revitalized edition promises to deliver the same addictive, lawn-protecting action that fans remember, now enhanced with exciting new ways to play alongside friends.

A newly released gameplay trailer offers a glimpse into the action, highlighting one of the biggest additions: local cooperative and player-versus-player modes. These new features are powered by the Switch 2’s GameShare functionality, allowing two players to team up against the zombie horde or compete against each other directly on a single system. The trailer does include a small but important note for players to remember. The GameShare session must be started from the primary Switch 2 console, and any guest players who join will only have access to the game for the duration of that shared session.

This “Replanted” version builds upon the solid foundation of the original game, which tasks players with strategically placing an arsenal of plant-based defenders, from peashooters to wall-nuts, to stop a humorous yet relentless zombie invasion. The core, single-player adventure remains intact, offering dozens of levels across various settings like the front lawn, backyard, and even the roof. With the inclusion of local multiplayer, the game is poised to become a fantastic pick-up-and-play title for parties or casual gaming nights, giving the classic a new lease on life for a modern audience.
