Today PopCap Vancouver celebrates more than 8 million players* who have played Plants vs. Zombies TM Garden Warfare. As a token of appreciation to the community, all Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare players will automatically receive 80,000 PvZ coins in their Garden Warfare account.

In this age-old war between plants and zombies, players did some serious damage to the undead, vanquishing over 7 billion zombies.
Your time spent in Garden Warfare can also give you an edge when the battle for Suburbia reaches crazy new heights on February 23 with the release of Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2. For the first time in franchise history, zombies have taken over and plants are on the attack. Players of the original game will have the ability to transfer almost all their unlocked characters into Garden Warfare 2 right from launch, jumpstarting the new adventure with their favorite plants and zombies.
