Jeremy Vanhoozer from PopCap Games took to the Gamescom stage to confirm a few new details about Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2.
There'll be solo and couch co-op gameplay, but the main announcement came in the form of Backyard Battleground, "a living playground" with daily quests and challenges. Players will have to complete missions to uncover the game's story, and they'll be able to invite up to three friends into their hub worlds.
Vanhoozer also revealed that Grass Effect - a spoof play on Mass Effect - is being turned into a pre-order incentive. The ME-themed Z7 mech suit is heading to Garden Warfare 2, and pre-orders will get the costume at launch, which was confirmed as spring 2016.
Here's the Gamescom trailer and below that is three new screenshots.
