Sixteen years ago, a humble peashooter fired its first shot, sparking a legendary battle for the backyard in Plants vs. Zombies. Over the years, this quirky game has grown into a beloved classic, charming players with its humorous characters and strategic gameplay. To celebrate this sweet 16 milestone, the developers are throwing a backyard bash, complete with discounts, fan stories, and a heartwarming celebration video.

Celebrating 16 Years of Fun with Special Offers

In honor of the occasion, EA is rolling out some exciting deals. Head over to Dave’s Secret Stash in the PvZ shop, where select packs are now available at up to 33% off. Additionally, there’s a 20% discount on Mini Games, perfect for those who enjoy planting peas or munching brains.

Fans of the series will also enjoy hearing tales from the game’s creators and long-time players. These behind-the-scenes stories highlight the game’s unique charm, from its goofy characters to its clever plant puns.

But the pièce de résistance of the celebration is the official Plants vs. Zombies Sweet 16 video. This nostalgic tribute captures the essence of the game’s vibrant community. Watch as zombies disco-dance and teleport across the screen—a fitting nod to the game’s quirky personality.

A Legacy That Keeps Growing

Did you know that Plants vs. Zombies first launched on desktop in 2009 under Popcap Games? Its quirky humor and addictive gameplay quickly made it a fan favorite. By 2010, it transitioned to mobile, cementing its status as a go-to game for casual players everywhere.

In 2012, EA acquired Popcap, and two years later, Plants vs. Zombies 2: It’s About Time hit the scene. Packed with new worlds and zany mechanics, it further solidified the franchise’s popularity.

Today, Plants vs. Zombies 3: Welcome to Zomburbia is still in development. Originally soft-launched in 2020, it underwent significant changes and is set to return with a fresh art style and classic tower defense elements.
