It's a day ending with a Y, and you know what that means! Yes, it's time for a bit of wild speculation about upcoming releases; although in this case, it's got a little more substance than most. A new title in the Plants Vs. Zombies franchise has reportedly been classified by the Brazilian Classificação Indicativa rating board. Named Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded, this release is designated for both mobile and console platforms. It's important to note that classification differs from trademarking, which often signals early news. The classification suggests that the board may have had access to an early build of the game for rating purposes.
The game has been assigned an L or all-ages rating, which aligns well with the family-friendly nature of the franchise. However, details such as pricing, microtransactions, and other specifics remain undisclosed.
**Going for a reload** Plants Vs. Zombies was one of the major success stories of early mobile gaming. With the backing of EA, it successfully transitioned to mainline consoles with the fully 3D Garden Warfare series. As for the title "Reloaded," it could imply anything from a revamped re-release to a full-fledged sequel, depending on interpretation.
While it's not guaranteed that Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded will see the light of day, the fact that it has reached the classification stage suggests it might be further along in development than we thought. I'd wager we'll get some sort of announcement this year.
