It's a day ending with a Y, and you know what that means! Yes, it's time for a little bit of wild speculation about upcoming releases; although in this case, it's got a bit more substance than most. Reportedly, a new title in the Plants Vs. Zombies franchise has just been classified by the Brazilian Classificação Indicativa rating board.
Named Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded, the release is classified for both mobile and console platforms. It's important to note that classification differs from trademarking, which is often where early news leaks from. In this instance, the classification board might have had access to an early build of Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded to provide its rating.
The game has received an L or all-ages rating, which aligns well with the family-friendly nature of the franchise. However, details such as pricing, microtransactions, or other specifics have not been disclosed.
Plants Vs. Zombies was one of the major success stories of early mobile gaming, and with the backing of EA, it even made the jump to mainline consoles with the fully 3D Garden Warfare series. As for the title itself, "Reloaded" could hint at anything from a revamped re-release to a full-fledged sequel, depending on how you interpret it.
While it's not guaranteed that Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded will see the light of day, the fact that it has reached this stage of classification suggests it's well into production. I'd wager we might see some sort of announcement this year.
