During today's press conference, EA revealed some more details regarding Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare.

The game, which is due out in spring 2014 (first) on Xbox One, will feature playable zombie classes, and a couple of new Xbox One-only features. The new Boss mode will allow players to command the battle via Kinect and Smart Glass, and there'll be a 2-player split-screen co-op mode.

"With its first reveal in June, we blew fans away with a glimpse of a game that takes the Plants vs. Zombies world to an entirely new genre," said PopCap's Tony Leamer.

"Here at gamescom, we're showcasing even more exciting elements, including Kinect for Xbox One and Xbox SmartGlass gameplay in Boss Mode, playable Zombie classes, character customization, and more. These amazing features will help make this one of the must-have action games of 2014."

Players will be able to take part in 24-player battles, as either plants of zombies, as well as 4-player co-op. There's also customisation options, allowing you to adorn your characters with different items.

Peggle 2, which was also revealed as coming first to Xbox One today, was also present during the conference, and we got to see a short demonstration of the game.
