I do think PvZ really needs it's next game to be a tower defense again, it's been a while since we got a new one. Though if it was actually made, I'd hope they would make it less P2W, take quality over quantity, no last minute game changing mechanics(like the leveling up system, unless the game was made with it in mind from the start), bring more minigames back(imagine getting I, Zombie levels based on a certain world each time you beat that world?) and make it available on PC. But again, knowing EA, that would be only a distant dream(with a PvZ Maker type of game being a close 2nd).

If I had to actually pick a different genre though, it would be an RPG like others suggested(I can really see PvZ working as a tactical RPG).
