Plants vs. Zombies Replanted was officially revealed a few months ago at Nintendo Direct as a remastered version of the original title coming to PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. EA revealed their plans on remastering the game with HD graphics, new difficulty modes, and more.
The game is slated for release on October 23, 2025. In a turn of events, the gameplay for the remastered title was leaked via the EA app. With players livestreaming the game on the Plants vs. Zombies Discord, a plethora of issues regarding the game have come to light.
The livestream of the gameplay leak has revealed a truckload of issues, including poor AI upscaling, porting issues, and bugs affecting the game's performance.
Plants vs. Zombies Replanted Gameplay Leak Reveals EA's Tragic Effort at a Remaster
Plants vs. Zombies Replanted is scheduled for release on October 23, 2025, across all platforms. However, some players were able to access the game earlier than expected through the EA app. After getting to experience the game, the overall feedback from players signals trouble for EA.
According to the leaked gameplay, the remastered version of the game appears to be a Unity remake of the Windows Phone version of the original Plants vs. Zombies game. Moreover, the game features poor AI upscaling, which is also littered with bugs and performance issues.
The unfortunate state of Plants vs. Zombies Replanted confirms the fears players had following the game's official announcement. After the reveal at Nintendo Direct, players were quick to point out the alleged use of generative AI. Moreover, the original creators of Plants vs. Zombies (2009) were not involved with the remaster.
EA has not addressed the gameplay leaks as of now. However, if the remastered version of the beloved tower defence title gets stuck with the negative early impressions, EA will have a tough time explaining why players should choose Plants vs. Zombies Replanted over the original GOTY version of the game, which is still available for purchase on Steam.
