Last year, EA announced details for an Android only closed alpha for Plants Vs. Zombies 3 from PopCap Games and EA. Plants Vs. Zombies 3 follows Plants Vs. Zombies 2 which wasn’t a fantastic follow up to the amazing original Plants Vs. Zombies for me. Plants Vs. Zombies 3 is a portrait game and it is not playable offline. Gameplay changes have been made as well as revealed on the announcement post for the soft launch. Plants Vs. Zombies 3 also lets you grow your town and squad in game and is free to play as expected with in app purchases. Watch the trailer for the Plants Vs. Zombies 3 soft launch below:

Plants Vs. Zombies 3 has returning characters and new ones and features new zombie bosses. Unlike prior games, Plants Vs. Zombies 3 has 3D graphics and features the ability to connect with friends to share items. EA’s official announcement for the soft launch mentions that the earlier games will remain in the stores and Plants Vs. Zombies 3 is not meant to replace them. EA wants Plants Vs. Zombies 3 to be a fun and fresh mobile experience. As of now, Plants Vs. Zombies 3 is available on iTunes and Google Play in Romania, Ireland, and Philippines.
