Get your sprinklers set up for a long summer, because Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time will rise from the lawn in July. The release date for PopCap's tower defense sequel was revealed in the goofy video below.



The first Plants vs. Zombies propelled PopCap to new heights of casual domination in 2009. It made the studio a very attractive acquisition for Electronic Arts, which purchased PopCap for $650 million in 2011.

Plants vs. Zombies 2 was set for a spring release when it was announced last year, but all we've learned about the game since then is its new subtitle. Is time travel or historical zombie slaying in the mix?

We'll find out soon.
