Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is a
third-person shooter, similar to
Garden Warfare. Gameplay largely remained the same as its predecessor, with the addition of 8 (6 immediately accessible and 2 which must be opened through a series of tough trials) new plant and zombie classes, a zombie version of Garden Ops, titled Graveyard Ops, and a new mode called Herbal Assault, a swapped version of Gardens and Graveyards where the Zombies must defend the bases and prevent the Plants from capturing them, which supports a maximum 24 players per game.
[1] Different classes have different abilities. Most characters and modes (Team Vanquish, Garden Ops, etc.) from the original
Garden Warfare returned, as well a new "remix" music from the original
Garden Warfare for the Zombies. New abilities for returning characters will also be introduced in
Garden Warfare 2.
[2] The new plant characters are Citron, Rose, and Kernel Corn. The new zombie characters are Imp, Super Brainz, and Captain Deadbeard. The old plant characters are Peashooter, Sunflower, Chomper, and Cactus, while the old zombies are Soldier, Engineer, Scientist, and Allstar.
