Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare co-op gameplay developer diary released

Written by Brandon Hofer on January 17, 2014

News: Pop Cap releases a developer diary showing off some of the co-op gameplay you can expect to find in Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare next month.

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare was revealed last year at E3 during EA’s press conference. It was met with some excitement as it was completely unexpected and something completely different within the Plants vs Zombies universe. Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare is a third person shooter like no other. It is the only game where you shoot peas from your face, invade the skies as a garlic drone and get to play as a zombie with a dolphin gun. Crazy Dave also has all-new reinforcements such as the Ice Pea, Hot Rod Chomper, Future Cactus and Mystic Sunflower. These are characters outfitted with special abilities, new gameplay mechanics and cool costumes.

The team over at Pop Cap recently released a new gameplay developer diary that showcases four player co-op mode “Garden Ops” where the Yeti and Giga-Gargantuar bosses make their debut in Garden Warfare. In Garden Ops, you play in squads of four working together to defend a garden base until Crazy Dave arrives to extract everyone. Successfully defend the garden through the 11 zombie waves and earn huge rewards.

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare features three distinct modes - two 12v12 competitive multiplayer modes called Garden & Graveyards and Team Vanquish, and the four player co-operative mode Garden Ops that was discussed above. In Garden & Graveyards, plants must defend their garden bases from zombies attempting to turn them into spooky graveyards. Players can also square off in Team Vanquish as they try to send the other team to the compost pile.

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare will be available on February 25, exclusively for the Xbox One and Xbox 360. Check out the gameplay trailer below and tell us what you think. Do you plan on picking this game up?
