EA_PvZ_Mario on twitter.
What do you guys think of this? "a few other surprises" first thought is: Ops Phase 3, Iceberg Lettuce... but i doubt they had time to finish those.. but still!! I'm excited to see the "surprises". ...
I took a look at the other people twitter recommends based on EA_PvZ_Mario. They were all working on BfN. Most of them are now working on Apex Legends ☹️.
Here's something I consider to be interesting:
Jeff Shaw posted this Spongebob meme on September 16. It shows Spongebob burrowing himself. We got the announcement on September 1 and September 2. He posted this 14 days later. Maybe the "this announcement may change" part was actually true. Maybe EA evaluated how many people were interested in Pvz BfN and concluded it wasn't worth it 2 weeks later.
So many of the BfN devs are now working on Apex Legends or other projects. Many thanked the PvZ fans who "stuck with them". Some said they needed to work on something new after only working on PvZ for 8 years. All of this seems very final to me. Everything indicates that we won't be getting another PvZ shooter. The erliest I would expect another one is in 6-7 years (2-3 years for Motive Vancouver's current project, 2-3 years for gw3). They would completely miss this gen of consoles.
