"Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded Rated by Brazil's Classification Board"

It's a day ending in Y, and you know what that means—time for some exciting speculation about upcoming releases! Today, we have more concrete news than usual: a new title in the beloved Plants Vs. Zombies franchise, named Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded, has been classified by the Brazilian Classificação Indicativa rating board. This classification spans both mobile and console platforms, hinting at a potentially broad release.

It's important to note that classification differs from trademarking, which often surfaces as early indicators of new projects. The fact that the Brazilian ratings board has classified Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded suggests they might have access to an early build, indicating that the game is further along in development than we might have thought.

The game has received an L or all-ages rating, which is fitting for the family-friendly nature of the franchise. However, details such as pricing, microtransactions, and specific content are still under wraps.

Going for a reload
Plants Vs. Zombies was a major success in the early days of mobile gaming, and with EA's support, it successfully transitioned to mainline consoles with the fully 3D Garden Warfare series. The title "Reloaded" could imply anything from a revamped rerelease to a full-fledged sequel. The ambiguity around the term keeps us guessing about what's in store.

While there's no guarantee that Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded will make it to release, the fact that it's at the classification stage suggests it's well on its way. I'd bet we'll see some sort of official announcement this year.
