‘Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare’ Gets A Release Date!

Briefly: This could be the game that has me buying an Xbox One.

EA has just announced the release date for the highly anticipated Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, which was first shown off at E3. The game is an action-packed third-person multiplayer shooter that puts players in the shoes—or roots—of their favorite characters from the popular Plants vs. Zombies franchise.

I thought that the game sounded stupid when I first heard about it, but that first gameplay reveal ensured me that Garden Warfare would be glorious.

The game will launch on Xbox 360 and Xbox One on February 18th in North America, and February 20th in Europe. On the Xbox One, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare includes two extra modes including local cooperative split screen and Boss Mode. With split screen, players can team up with a friend on the couch to fight against an endless horde of zombies. In Boss Mode, gamers can utilize their Kinect or a SmartGlass device in any of the other gameplay modes to support their teams. Players have a top-down view of the battlefield and can help out their teammates with intel, health drops, revive stations and explosive artillery strikes.
