Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville

About

Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is a third-person shooter blending strategy and team tactics. Choose to play as Plants or Zombies in co-op or competitive matches. 20 classes split into attackers, defenders, and support roles let you swap tactics mid-battle. New team play classes let players of the same type fuse for stronger attacks. Modes include objective-based Turf War and team deathmatch Vanquish. Split-screen works for all modes up to four players locally. The game adds six new classes and open-world zones for solo or co-op exploration with side quests and hidden items. Released in 2019 on PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Switch, it retains the series' chaotic charm. Players note the smooth class balance and replayability from customizable loadouts. Split-screen remains a hit for couch co-op, though online lobbies can be inconsistent. Zombies escape their trap, but the story takes a backseat to the action.

Storyline

Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville takes place after the events of Garden Warfare 2. The plants presumably won the battle for Zomburbia and trapped all of the zombies in a "Smell Jar". The plants once again had control of Suburbia, and humans did not have to worry about their brains being eaten until the zombies escaped. Now the Plants and Zombies battle once more.
