News: With two new multiplayer modes!

PopCap Games has officially announced that Plants vs Zombies is coming to the Xbox Live Arcade this Fall. Scheduled for release this September, Plants vs Zombies will be available to download for 1200 Microsoft Points ($15).

The XBLA version of Plants vs Zombies will include everything gamers love about the PC version along with two all-new multiplayer modes and 21 mini-games. Other features include:

A total of seven game modes, including two new multiplayer modes: Co-Op and Vs. Mode

12 Achievements and 21 mini-games -- More than any other adaptation, and including the exclusive Heavy Weapon-inspired mini-game

A goofy new way to track and share progress online, where players create their own custom house and cruise down the street to see their friends' cribs!

The highest resolution of any Plants vs. Zombies adaptation to date at 1920 x 1080

All 50 levels of the original Adventure mode along with Puzzle, Survival, and Zen Garden

"With a ton of new features and content exclusive to the XBLA version, we've pulled out all the stops to both expand and optimize this adaptation for a hard core gaming audience," said Ed Allard, head of worldwide studios at PopCap. "The two new multiplayer modes allow gamers to work cooperatively to defeat hordes of invading zombies, or go head-to-head in a true 'plants vs. zombies' challenge. We're also featuring a customized 'house' for tracking and sharing progress as well as a total of 21 mini-games and 12 Achievements, all designed to enthrall Plants vs. Zombies players once again."

We'll have more soon.
