Release date: ???
Patch notes:

New Features:

Added Survival: Endless Day, Night, Fog, Roof, and Cloudy Day levels.
- These Endless levels each have their own save slots, with existing Survival: Endless saves carried over to Survival: Endless (Pool).

Gameplay Fixes:

Fixed crash most commonly seen in long Survival: Endless games
Fixed cases where explosive plants (Cherry Bomb, Jalapeno, etc.) could get stuck in levels after using them
Fixed loading issue caused by interrupting the flow around Dave’s Taco after level 4-4 (The Magic Taco needed some attunement to account for speedsters)
Fixed issues with P2 planting cards in Vasebreaker levels
Fixed being able to use the Wheelbarrow to bring seedlings into the Aquarium
Fixed Zombies Plant Daisies visual toggle not properly retaining its state after exiting levels
Fixed issue with menus getting stuck when controller disconnects happened with the I, Zombie game over message on screen.

Audio / Visual Fixes:

Fixed Seed Select menu music starting a few seconds into the track (The record had some dust. It’s cleaned now, so no more skipping!)
Fixed Conveyor plant preview blackouts (Dr.Z was up to no good once again)
Muted ingame sfx during the title scene when starting a new Adventure run
Fixed issues with Zombies appearing in the Seed Select Preview view with visual toggles enabled
Fixed Aquarium planting slot shadows not being visible when using the Glove or Wheelbarrow
Fixed Zombotany head appearance issues
Fixed Cherry Bomb growing animation stopping early
Made sure Dr. Zomboss’s arm is properly attached when he throws the RV at the bottom row (Dr. Z is re-armed and dangerous!)

Feels like Feastivus!

Peashooter, Wall-nut, Regular Zombie, and Conehead Zombie are all feeling particularly feastive this month

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted – Ver. 1.4.0

Release date: ???
Patch notes:

New Features:

Added Accessibility Features that can be toggled on via the Main Menu Options Menu:
- High Contrast Mode (high contrast visuals during gameplay to accommodate visual accessibility needs)
- Slow Speed (changes 1x speed to 0.5x game speed and reduces the faster speeds accordingly)
- Disable Screenshake (removes shaking effect on explosions and other areas)
Added Sun Vacuum / Magnet function to the game
- Pressing Right Trigger/R2/ZR on Controllers or Spacebar on Keyboard activates the sun vacuum function, collecting all individual suns present in the level when activated. (Now you can spend more time on strategizing & execution instead of staring at the suns. Which we’ve heard isn’t good for your eyes)

Gameplay Fixes:

Added ability to open the Almanac from the Pause Menu
Fixed Main Menu button not appearing on Reward Screen
Optimizations made for Zombie memory management to improve performance on lower end devices, particularly in Survival Endless.

Fixed Fog covering the Zombie preview during Seed Selection on Survival levels (We don’t like surprises on this lawn)
Fixes for Endless modes not showing streak counter/flags completed properly
Fixed Polevaulters being a little too effective at getting past lawnmowers in rare cases (Took a while, but we’ve shortened all the poles we could find)
Fixed Mallet becoming unusable in certain situations during Vasebreaker levels
Fixes for reported issues with Cob Cannon causing freezes in levels
Fixes for various issues with Garden Tools and Zen Garden navigation
Fixes for issues with plant selection and timer resets
Zomboni now properly spawns Bobsled Team in Vs Mode.

Fix for Plant/Zombie placement previews not being faded out when you can’t afford to place them
Marigolds now show their whole range of colours
Fixed Dave forgetting to show you various items when he’s talking about them (Dave got too excited, but he’s got enough practice now)
Fixed Dave wandering a bit too far off-screen in certain aspect ratios (We’ve marked his spot with tape so he knows where to stand now)
Fixed audio and visual issues with the Vs. Mode Target Zombies
Fixed various visual states not showing correctly in Vs. Mode
Fixed lawnmowers flying into position
Fixed alternate lawnmower wheels going into overdrive
Fixed Retro Zombie’s Rubber Ducky appearance

Many more minor optimizations, fixes and polish changes

Platform-Specific Fixes:

[Switch] Fixed cases of Account Linking flow not functioning after re-enabling network connection
