News: EA and Pop Cap have revealed that players have vanquished more than 400 million plants and zombies so far and PS3/PS4 gamers can join the fun soon.

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare has been available for Xbox platforms and PC for a few months now. Finally though PlayStation gamers have a date they can look forward to as EA has just announced that Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare will be hitting PlayStation platforms on August 19.

Players can pre-order Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare starting today and get two digital card packs and PlayStation exclusive customization for both their plants and zombies characters including Hat Packs from Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper and Fat Princess games. PlayStation players will also be able to jump straight into the action, never missing a beat with PlayStation Vita Remote Play during all their favorite multiplayer moments taking on their friends and continuing to sow the seeds of victory.

“Our players have already vanquished more than 400 million plants and zombies, and we can’t wait for PlayStation gamers to add to this total,” said Brian Lindley, Producer on Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare. “They’ll see how accessible, yet deep, the gameplay is, and will get endless hours of fun out of the game.”

Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare lets players choose a side and wage an all-out war on their plant or zombie enemies in a variety of gameplay modes and with a jaw-dropping arsenal of outrageous weapons. The game features adored favorites in the series, such as the Peashooter and Sunflower, along with a new cast of characters including Ice Cactus, Hot Rod Chomper and all the Zombies players can get their hands on.

Players can jump into three distinct competitive multiplayer modes including two 12 vs. 12 modes called “Garden & Graveyards” and “Team Vanquish,” or a four-player co-operative mode called “Garden Ops.” Split-screen gameplay and Boss Mode will also be available on PlayStation 4.

An amazingly deep set of customization options gives players an opportunity to personalize plants and zombies with fun costumes, items, hats and more, some of which give all-new abilities to each of the characters. The Fat Princess content will only be available through pre-order.
