Unlike the more recent Garden Warfare series of shooters, Plants vs. Zombies 3 goes back to the series' roots and is another tower-defense game. Players must protect Neighborville from encroaching zombies, setting up the usual sorts of garden-based traps and defenses with returning favorite plants alongside new ones.

EA has pulled Plants vs. Zombies 3 offline for what it called a “major overhaul” as it works to once again improve the game before a worldwide launch. In a blog post, EA said in-app purchases are no longer available and the game is no longer available to download.

EA and PopCap have announced that they're taking Plants vs. Zombies 3 offline in order to put a "major overhaul" into effect.

Plants vs Zombies 3 will go offline and get a "major overhaul" following feedback from the app's "soft launch", which began back in January. The undead tower defense threequel is now no longer available to download from the iPhone App Store and Google Play,
