After many years in development, EA has finally launched the highly anticipated game Plants vs. Zombies 3. According to The Verge, it has been nearly five years since EA announced the third installment of the popular mobile game Plants vs. Zombies, and now the time has come for the fan community to experience this famous ‘plant and zombie shooting’ game.

Accordingly, the publisher EA revealed that Plants vs. Zombies 3: Welcome to Zomburbia (PvZ3) has officially launched its first phase, limited to a number of countries, including the UK, Netherlands, Australia, Philippines, and Ireland. Like the previous installments, PvZ3 continues to follow the tower defense gameplay style, requiring players to ‘deploy troops’ of various plants to fend off the approaching zombie horde. EA states that the new game will see the return of old plant types and the introduction of new characters, along with gameplay rich in the classic combat style of the first installment. PvZ3 will be free to play, but there will still be small in-game transactions for purchasing items.

The original Plants vs. Zombies game was released on PC and Mac in 2009 before becoming available on mobile devices. The game expanded to more platforms after EA acquired the developer PopCap Games in 2011. This also led to the development of Plants vs. Zombies 2, launched in 2013. That was also the time when the game shifted from a paid model ($2.99) to free-to-play.

EA states that PvZ3 will be available in more countries at a future date after the company collects enough feedback from the community during the initial limited launch phase.
