Plants vs Zombies 3 soft launches in the UK

Plants vs Zombies is a classic lane-based tower defence game which released back in 2009 to a great deal of success. Since then, the game has gotten one sequel and multiple spin-offs. Going back to its roots however, PVZ3 will once again see players defending Neighborville from a swarm of zombies. While the game’s official launch is still a ways away, those in the UK can get their hands on PvZ3 right now.

Taking to their blog, the team at PopCap announced the official soft launch for Plants vs Zombies 3, saying “Welcome to the neighborhood! We’re beyond thrilled to announce that Plants vs. Zombies 3: Welcome to Zomburbia has soft launched! Players in the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Australia, Philippines, and the Republic of Ireland will have early access, with more countries coming at a later date.”

PopCap had engaged in a bunch of limited testing throughout 2022 and 2023, but today marks the first time that anyone can hop into the 3rd entry of this classic series – assuming you live in one of the applicable countries.

While the first Plants vs Zombies was somewhat of a phenomenon, PvZ2 saw some backlash back when it was released due to the game’s overabundance of microtransactions. With PvZ3 seemingly being exclusive to mobile platforms, hopefully the game does not overindulge in these practices once the game fully releases.
