Out of nowhere, EA has confirmed the existence of Plants vs Zombies 3, playable to a select group of people via a pre-alpha build.

A Google Play store listing accessible in the US is currently advertising the game for certain Android users (as spotted by Android Police). The same link gives a 404 error here in the UK.

Developer PopCap notes in the game's app store description:

"In this plant-tastic Pre-Alpha, you should anticipate experiencing bugs (zombies don't bathe very often) and other issues," the studio wrote.

"Don't soil your plants just yet! Plants vs. Zombies 3 is under early construction and is not representative of the final game. Pre-Alpha is focused on getting your feedback on combat features only. We're saving a lot more for later!"

I hope it’s an actual paid game and not like PvZ2, which was littered with micro transactions.

A full-blown console version of Peggle 3 is what the world needs, but I'll settle on a PvZ3 till then. If it's mobile, I'll pass. Chuck it on Stadia, the glorified mobile platform, innit. Didn't play PvZ2 cuz it was a P2W mobile game.

I want two things ...
1. For it to be a game I buy one and done
2. For it to be on platforms other than phones... I hate that I needed bluestacks to play PVZ2 on PC after PVZ originated on the platform.

I'm sure its both.
Every EA, Activision, Ubisoft, etc etc etc, game is both now.

My wife's gonna love this news, she's so good at it, she doesn't even need microtransaction to beat the game.

PvZ:GW was a very fun and very balanced game, sort of (a horde of soldier zombies was a pain in the arse to defeat). It never felt laggy or janky or unfair. I liked the bright cartoony colours of what was a serious online shooter.

PvZ2:GW2 didn't have the same feeling. I felt like they introduced too many characters and it got a bit out of hand. Still fun but not as fun the original.

I hope 3 is as good as the others.

THis thread isn’t about garden warfare, but the original tower defense, mobile game. Not that it matters to me whether you discuss garden warfare in here, just wondering if you’re aware.

Life ruined!

Only interested in Garden Warfare 3 and only if it's more like 1 than 2.

2 sucked big time.

Meh, PVZ2 was inferior to the original in almost every way. I wouldn't have high hopes for another sequel.

Hmm... interesting. Both PvZ and Garden Warfare had rubbish sequels. I never bothered with GW2 at all personally. I miss old school Popcap, the one who could do no wrong in my eyes.

Those days are long gone, I’m afraid.

Garden Warfare 1 was such a good, underrated shooter. I don't know what happened during 2 but it was a mess, they introduced a bunch of OP characters and everything just felt poor in comparison.
