Plants vs. Zombies 2 Delayed

Over Twitter this morning, PopCap announced over the official Plants vs. Zombies account that Plant vs. Zombies 2 will no longer meet its July 18th release. The delay means that the game will release sometime later this summer. PopCap did not specify a date.

In a response to a follower, PopCap explained that the delay came because they want to reach the highest quality before the release.

@tim3lord It's still coming out this summer, we just want to make sure it's up to our fans' standards! ^VenusVonFlytrap

The game will release first on iOS products but that still won't stop the delay from happening.

EA announced PopCap's new third-person shooter Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare at this year's E3 press conference. It proves very likely that they delay came from the studio working on two games simultaneously, especially a game involving the complexity of a third-person shooter.
