It's a day ending with a Y, and you know what that means! Yes, it's time for some thrilling speculation about upcoming releases; though in this case, we've got a bit more to chew on than usual. Reports have surfaced that a new title in the beloved Plants Vs. Zombies franchise, dubbed Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded, has been classified by Brazil's Classificação Indicativa rating board.
This classification covers both mobile and console platforms, indicating that the game might be in the final stages of development. It's important to distinguish this from trademarking, which often serves as an early indicator of new projects. The fact that it has reached the classification stage suggests that the board may have reviewed an early build of Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded to assign its rating.
The game has been given an L or all-ages rating, which aligns perfectly with the family-friendly nature of the franchise. However, the classification doesn't provide additional information about pricing, potential microtransactions, or other specifics.
Going for a reload - Plants Vs. Zombies was a landmark success in the early days of mobile gaming. With the support of EA, it expanded to major consoles through the fully 3D Garden Warfare series. The term "Reloaded" in the title leaves room for interpretation - it could signify anything from a remastered version to a brand-new sequel in the series.
While there's no guarantee that Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded will hit the market, the fact that it's already in the classification phase suggests that we might see an official announcement sometime this year.
