A map, more missions, and character reworks

This week, there’s almost certainly going to be a big dropoff in the number ofPlants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2players who stick with Rose because they like to top the scoreboards. And thank goodness for that. PopCap is releasing a major update on Tuesday, March 8 with a new multiplayer map, more missions for the hub world, and much-needed balance adjustments to characters like Rose.

The all-seeing, all-knowing plant class is being “completely re-tuned” to fit into her originally intended support role. That means lower health, less effective homing capabilities for her primary attack, and a reduction to her Time Snare ability, among other changes. With this update, PopCap is also touching up several other characters like the Imp (more health) and Chomper (less spammy Goop).
