Is the Garden Warfare series dead?

@TheSprinter85Its a conflicting subject as a true gw3 with proper advertising would earn money and could earn back the fan goodwill dumped off a cliff. I want to see the franchise continue with a new game soon but at the same moment any new game announced would be worrisome with the the time gap they announce, work, and realease it if bfn is an example of how they now work and that not many people have gotten new consoles yet.

I want to know what honestly happened with popcaps game design after 2016 with the release of games like overwatch and fortnite as EA is the company that created apex legends to get a slice of that battle royal pie and bfn tries to ditch garden warfare mechanics while also trying to soak up as many fans from the past games to boost player numbers (popcaps own handling of the game was just poor as well even before the pandemic).

Outside of the pvz subreddit such as the Xbox one sub or pvz wiki forums on bfn's cancellation and it was obvious from reading that many people there were garden warfare fans not happy with bfn or not knowing of the games existence. Even now after 5 years gw2 still has more players and fan support in mods.

I think it's safe to say the franchise is entering the dark age and we may recover if popcap gets their act together with pvz 3 onwards or sadly we may stagnate for years before we get games and practically turn into star fox.
