The gaming world is abuzz with speculation, and this time, there's more than just whispers. A new entry in the beloved Plants vs. Zombies franchise has reportedly been classified by Brazil's Classificação Indicativa rating board. This suggests an upcoming release, though the exact nature remains shrouded in mystery.
The title, Plants vs. Zombies Reloaded, is listed for mobile and consoles. It's important to note that this classification differs from trademark filings, a more common source of early game announcements. This classification suggests the board has access to a pre-release build of the game.
The game received an "L" or all-ages rating, consistent with the franchise's family-friendly nature. However, details regarding pricing, microtransactions, and other specifics remain undisclosed.
Plants vs. Zombies was a monumental success in early mobile gaming, and with EA's backing, even transitioned to consoles with the 3D Garden Warfare series. The "Reloaded" moniker is ambiguous; it could signify a remastered version or a brand-new sequel. The interpretation depends entirely on how one interprets the title.
While there's no guarantee Plants vs. Zombies Reloaded will launch, its advanced stage of classification suggests an announcement is likely this year.
