Plants vs. Zombies 3 exists, but you probably can't play it yet Somebody grassed. News by Tom Phillips Deputy Editor Updated on 17 Jul 2019 32 comments Out of nowhere, EA has confirmed the existence of Plants vs Zombies 3, playable to a select group of people via a pre-alpha build. A Google Play store listing accessible in the US is currently advertising the game for certain Android users (as spotted by Android Police). The same link gives a 404 error here in the UK. Screenshots show familiar plants and zombies from the series' roots - although one big change seems to be that sunflower energy comes not from actual sunflower plants placed on the game board, but from a meter. But much of this may still change, developer PopCap notes in the game's app store description. "In this plant-tastic Pre-Alpha, you should anticipate experiencing bugs (zombies don't bathe very often) and other issues," the studio wrote. "Don't soil your plants just yet! Plants vs. Zombies 3 is under early construction and is not representative of the final game. Pre-Alpha is focused on getting your feedback on combat features only. We're saving a lot more for later!" The game is currently free to play, with in-game microtransactions in the usual range from pennies up to enormous ($99) amounts. In other Plants vs Zombies news, we're still expecting a third instalment of the series' shootery Garden Warfare spin-off. EA told investors earlier this year it was readying a new PVZ for launch by the end of March 2020.
