Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 Open Beta Now Live

PopCap Vancouver today announced the first ever public access multiplayer beta for Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2. The open beta will be available for download this afternoon, and continues until January 18th on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, giving fans a chance to experience new worlds, new characters, and new modes; including 24-player multiplayer battles – all before Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare hits stores on February 23rd.

The Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 open-multiplayer beta will include:

• Limited access to the all-new Backyard Battleground, an interactive environment that brings to life more ways to experience the Plants vs. Zombies universe. Take your time discovering what Backyard Battleground has to offer, or jump into a battle right away with the King of the Hill-inspired mode, Flag of Power.
• Six new playable character classes including Rose, Citron, and Kernel Corn for the plants, and Imp, Super Brainz and Captain Deadbeard for the zombies. There’s also a returning roster of characters from the original Garden Warfare, and select variants including the Grass Effect Z7-Mech.
• Six different game modes, including 24-person multiplayer modes – like all-new Herbal Assault with plants on the offensive, or the classic Gardens and Graveyards.
• Four distinct maps, including low gravity Moon Base Z, and snowy Frosty Creek.
