Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is coming to Switch in March

Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville arrives on Nintendo Switch on March 19, with a complete new edition.

A press release from Electronic Arts said it would be the first game developed for Switch with the company’s Frostbite engine.

“We are delighted to bring everyone’s favorite Plants vs. Zombies characters on Nintendo Switch for the first time, giving players the flexibility to play at home or on the go, however they want, ”said Melvin Teo, producer at PopCap Vancouver. “The Switch’s motion controls allow us to try out a new take on Neighborville, and with its docked and portable play, we have the ability to bring the game and its characters to life in ways that were not possible before. .

Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is the third game in the Garden Warfare spin-off from PopCap Vancouver. It launched in October 2019 on PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One, and got its latest game update a year later. The upcoming Complete Edition for Nintendo Switch will allow players to unlock all customization content and characters from the original game, which rolled out in a seasonal model.

The Switch version is co-developed by the Polish studio QLOC.
