@benn1nat0r no worries. It was a bit murky even back then, but PopCap were looking for people to work on a AAA PvZ shooter even before we got the last updates for GW2. The GW3 rumors started early and I believe that the launch of OW (which came out after GW2), may have had an effect on the work on that game and why it may have changed tack part way through.

@Iron_Guard8 The first if I remember correctly came from a pvz comic on amazon that hinted gw3 then it dropped off for a while until the picnic leaks started coming in.

    @stukapookayeah didn't the wording specifically say GW3? So maybe BFN's original name really was GW3. They would've made slightly more money if they kept the old name

    @shurikeninja Yeah practically every leak or rumor called it gw3 before it was revealed to be called bfn.

    Why not just stick with the garden warfare format? Its already worked successfully twice and its proven in many franchises that sticking to and improving upon what works goes well for many series instead of randomly changing your entire gameplay formula (don't fix what isn't broken).

    @stukapooka Probably more on the Popcap's side than EA. Although EA may have had to do with the Fortnite skins model in BFN.
