Re: Garden Warfare 3 and what this game is meant to be.

Hey, so help me understand your ideas and other forum posters ideas about this impending release of GW3. Please point me to a link where it's been officially announced. I sure would like to read about these holiday 2017/spring 2018 release plans.

I didn't see anything about GW3 at the big E3 annual gaming conference that was just held a couple of months ago. Mostly of the big titles that are planned for release throughout 2018 were announced there. Did I miss something announced there about GW3? Please give me a link, if so.

Recently, I did see some information in a forum about a single job listing for 1 position that might be related to GW3. But PopCap just had big layoffs a couple of months ago, remember. If you do a Google search for "popcap layoffs", you can read stories about May layoffs involving at least 20 percent of the PopCap workforce and possibly as much as 40 percent, and a management statement addressing the layoffs that seems to announce the intention to double down on mobile gaming, which wouldn't include GW3. A Google search for GW3 yields little except for vague forum threads like this one.

There's been no new content for GW2 recently, so development seems to have stopped completely, as near as I can tell.

I don't mean be negative. I want to be enthusiastic along with you. I like GW2, too  Please point me to some solid information about GW3...

    The majority of people discussing the unannounced and unconfirmed GW3 are either making a huge assumption based on the "typical" every-two-years release schedule for most franchises, one vaguely worded job listing from before the PopCap layoffs or they are relying on posts written by other people making those assumptions.

    In the post-layoff era I'm personally still hopeful that a GW3 will be realized since the studio is supposed to be focusing its efforts on "Key titles and new projects" so I would hope that Plants vs Zombies is one of those key titles and that Garden Warfare will remain in development along with PopCap's stable of surviving mobile games for possible future releases, but I'm not going to hold my breath expecting it to show up any time soon.
