Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted Launches on Consoles and PC With New Modes

Early reviews highlight a faithful remaster with technical hiccups, missing pieces, plus unresolved claims of AI‑upscaled art.

Overview

  • Out now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is priced at $19.99 and revives the 2009 tower‑defense classic for modern platforms.
  • New additions include HD visuals, a hardcore permadeath option in Adventure mode, local co‑op and versus play, and unlockable bonus minigames restored from the original’s cut content.
  • Critics report glitches and logic/animation issues, missing or altered content such as the ice levels, and music mix problems flagged by original composer Laura Shigihara.
  • Some players allege AI‑generated or AI‑upscaled assets, though reviewers say there is no definitive public proof and characterize the claims as unconfirmed.
  • ESRB rates the game E10+ for Fantasy Violence, Mild Blood, and Simulated Gambling, notes no in‑game purchases or online multiplayer, and reviewers praise strong performance on Steam Deck.
