What is Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted? 

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is an upcoming HD remaster of the original 2009 Plants vs. Zombies game, developed by PopCap Games (in collaboration with The Lost Pixels) and published by Electronic Arts.

The remaster retains the core lane-based tower defense gameplay you remember — strategically planting defenses to fend off waves of zombies — but enhances it with modern visuals, new content, and features not present in the original.

How Long is Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted? 

Because Replanted is a remaster of the original Plants vs. Zombies with added content and modes, playtime will vary depending on how you approach it.

• Main Adventure Mode (story campaign): Around 5–8 hours, depending on how quickly you clear each level and how often you replay or retry challenging ones.
• With Extras & Bonus Modes: Including mini-games, survival modes, Cloudy Day challenge, “Rest in Peace” permadeath mode, and full completion of all chapters and objectives, you could stretch that total to 15–20+ hours or more.
• Repeatability: Because of additional modes and replay incentives (high scores, challenges, alternate paths), players who try to “100%” the game may spend significantly longer.

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted Chapter List

The remaster includes the core Adventure Mode structure plus bonus and challenge chapters.

Here’s a breakdown:

Chapter / Mode	Description / Notes
Adventure Mode	Core campaign, structured into areas much like the original game.
Day	Early levels in bright, daytime setting.
Night	Levels with nighttime mechanics (e.g. mushrooms).
Pool	Levels involving water lanes.
Fog / Pool with Fog	Fog-affected pool levels.
Roof / Night Roof	Rooftop levels towards the end of the campaign.
Bonus / Mini-Game Levels	Interspersed within Adventure as side chapters / mini-game unlocked stages.
Cloudy Day	A set of 10 off-linear levels with limited sunlight mechanics.
Rest in Peace (R.I.P.)	Permadeath mode variant of Adventure Mode, acting as a more difficult alternate chapter path.
Survival / Special Levels	Survival mode and possibly themed levels like “Great Wall” (China) as secret or bonus chapters.
Level Selector / Replay Chapters	After launch, players can revisit any chapter from Adventure Mode via a level selector.

All Objectives in Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted

In Replanted, objectives are extra goals that go above and beyond the default “defeat all zombies.” They add challenge, replay value, and sometimes unlock rewards or achievements.

Here are common types of objectives you’re likely to encounter:

Objective Type	Description / Example
Produce at least X sun	You must generate a certain amount of sunlight before the level ends.
Spend no more than X sun	Your total sun usage must stay under a limit.
Never have more than X plants	Caps how many plants you can place simultaneously.
Don’t lose more than X plants	Only allow a limited number of plants to be destroyed.
Don’t let zombies trample flowers	Protect designated flowers on the lawn from being trampled.
Defeat X zombies within time / before timer runs out	A time-based kill objective.
Destroy X gravestones	Must remove a number of gravestones before finishing.
Survive with restricted seed slots / limited seed bank	Play with fewer plant choices or constrained seed slots.
Survive without using sun producers	Do not use any sun-generating plants in the level.
Survive without shovel or plant food	Don’t use key utility tools in that level.
Survive the zombie attack with pre-placed plants	Some levels give you certain plants already placed and you have to work with them.
