It's a day ending in Y, and you know what that means—time for some thrilling speculation about upcoming game releases! Today, however, we've got more than just rumors; the Brazilian Classificação Indicativa rating board has classified a new title in the beloved Plants Vs. Zombies franchise: Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded. This classification covers both mobile and console platforms, hinting at a broad release strategy.
It's important to differentiate between classification and trademarking. While trademarking often signals early development, classification suggests that the rating board may have reviewed an early build of Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded. The game has received an L or all-ages rating, fitting well with the family-friendly nature of the series. Unfortunately, details about pricing and microtransactions remain under wraps.
Going for a reload—Plants Vs. Zombies was a groundbreaking hit in the early days of mobile gaming. With EA's support, it successfully transitioned to major consoles with the fully 3D Garden Warfare series. The title "Reloaded" leaves room for interpretation: it could signal anything from a refreshed rerelease to a brand-new sequel.
Despite this exciting news, there's no guarantee that Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded will definitely hit the market. However, given its advanced stage in the classification process, it's likely we'll hear an official announcement sometime this year.
