Plants vs. Zombies is a popular tower defense video game franchise developed by PopCap Games and published by Electronic Arts. The series began with the release of the original Plants vs. Zombies in 2009 and has since expanded into sequels, spin-offs, and other adaptations.

Original Game (2009)

The first Plants vs. Zombies game tasks players with defending their home during a zombie apocalypse by strategically placing plants with unique abilities on a grid-like lawn. Players collect "sun," the in-game currency, to purchase plants that can attack zombies, slow them down, or provide support. The game features various types of zombies with special traits and weaknesses, adding complexity to the strategy. It was praised for its humor, engaging gameplay, and soundtrack, becoming one of PopCap's best-selling games.

It added new plants, zombies, and mechanics like Plant Food for temporary power-ups. Unlike the original, it adopted a free-to-play model with in-app purchases.
2. Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare Series The franchise expanded into third-person shooters with Garden Warfare (2014) and its sequel Garden Warfare 2 (2016).
