It's another day ending in Y, and you know what that means! Yes, it's time for some thrilling speculation about upcoming game releases, and today's news has a bit more substance than usual. Reports have emerged that a new entry in the beloved Plants Vs. Zombies franchise, titled Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded, has been classified by the Brazilian Classificação Indicativa rating board.
Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded has been classified for both mobile and console platforms. It's important to differentiate this from trademark filings, which often serve as early indicators of new projects. A classification, on the other hand, suggests that the rating board may have had access to an early build of the game to evaluate and classify it accordingly.
The game has received an L or all-ages rating, which aligns well with the family-friendly nature of the Plants Vs. Zombies series. However, the classification does not provide additional details on pricing, potential microtransactions, or other specifics about the game.
Going for a reload
Plants Vs. Zombies is a hallmark of early mobile gaming success, and with the support of EA, it successfully transitioned to consoles with the fully 3D Garden Warfare series. The term "Reloaded" in the new title could hint at anything from a revamped re-release to a full-fledged sequel. The exact nature of Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded remains to be seen.
While there's no guarantee that Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded will ultimately be released, its classification suggests that it's far enough along in development that an announcement could be expected this year.
