Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted – Upcoming Updates

Release date: TBA
Patch notes:

Ver. 1.3.0

Sound effects no longer overlap menu music at higher game speeds
Added missing menu open SFX for Pause Menu
Collecting Sun has a wider range of audio played

General:

[Vs Mode] Plant and Zombie tooltips now properly appear when using controllers during match selection
Retro Zombies no longer unexpectedly jump or teleport ahead during movement (Dr. Zomboss got us good with this one)
Disabling Vsync no longer impacts Mouse cursor speed
Fixed plants showing incorrectly when collecting sun while dragging them to be placed with Touch inputs
Dr. Zomboss no longer signs his notes with a comma after his name (We wonder if Tugboat was forging those notes for him)

Fixed various visual issues with Magnet-Shroom grabbing items
Fixed a few Controller prompts showing incorrectly when not using controllers for input

Ver. 1.4.0

New Features:

Added Accessibility Features that can be toggled on via the Main Menu Options Menu:

- 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.

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
