Plants vs. Zombies is getting an HD remaster with co-op

The iconic tower defense game Plants vs. Zombies is getting an HD remaster. Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted heads to the Switch and Switch 2 on October 23, as revealed during this morning's Nintendo Direct livestream.

As the name suggests, it's a remake of the very first PvZ game, going all the way back to 2009. This is the first time we're seeing a version of the original title on a Nintendo platform since the DS.

This is more than just a simple HD refresh. The graphics have been upscaled, which is nice, but EA has also added new levels and plenty of secrets to uncover. The refresh will even include local co-op and PvP, which should be fun. The PSN and Xbox Live Arcade versions of the game, released in the early 2010s, had a co-op mode, but not's not true of many other iterations.

Preorders are open right now, and early birds will receive a retro Peashooter skin when the game launches. It remains to be seen if the game will come to other platforms beyond Nintendo's hybrid consoles. However, it's very likely to pop up on just about everything before too long.

As for the rest of today's Nintendo Direct, it was a muted affair focusing on third-party titles. Square Enix announced a new Octopath Traveler game and Atlus revealed that Persona 3 Reload is coming to Switch 2. There was also a bizarre-looking game about building a campfire.
