Lost City

Lost City is the eighth world in Plants vs. Zombies 2. Its official trailer was released on May 22, 2015.

The trailer shows that Lost City is set in a Mesoamerican civilization, but in a more modern exploration era. The new plants showcased in the trailer are Lava Guava, Red Stinger and Endurian. A.K.E.E was not featured in the trailer but its Plant Food effect was shown. Additionally, the Basic Zombie for the world was shown, as well as the Gargantuar variant for the world and two new zombies: Bug Zombie and Lost Pilot Zombie.

The teaser Piñata Parties for this world commenced on May 26, 2015. They introduced the Lava Guava and Lost City zombies, including its Basic, Conehead Buckethead and Flag variants. The Dev Diary for Lost City Part 1 was released on May 28, 2015, showing gameplay involving the new plants, zombies and Gold Tiles which give free sun as long as they are occupied.

New features


Gold Tiles (sometimes called Sun Tiles) are special tiles exclusive to this world. When a plant is placed on a Gold Tile, it will immediately give the player 50 sun, and another 50 sun after 20 seconds each time until that plant is eaten, crushed, shoveled up or moved by the zombies. When it happens, the Gold Tile will not produce sun anymore. Nothing special happens when the player uses Plant Food on a plant located on a Gold Tile.

Game description
''Discover the vanished city of gold, where sun is plentiful and misplaced zombies abound! Use special tiles for extra sun, for these treasure-seekers are no idol threat!''

Trivia

 * Lost City teaser parties display the line "It's a jungle out there," which is most likely a reference to the well-known song by Randy Newman.
 * Lost City is the second world not to have a unique Brain Buster. The first one was Frostbite Caves.
 * Lost City is the first world not to have a Gargantuar statue for its respective Gargantuar battle on its map. Instead, only its arm (made out of gold with patterns carved in) holding a World Key is seen.
 * Also, this is the first Gargantuar battle to have the Demonstration Mini-game theme played instead of the Ultimate Battle theme.
 * Lost City, Ancient Egypt, Big Wave Beach and Frostbite Caves are the only worlds in Plants vs. Zombies 2 that do not explicitly state which year the world is set in.

 * If one looks closely at the Lost City preview, a Wall-nut can be seen behind Endurian.
 * EA's official website uses "Lost City of Gold" as the name of this world.
 * The music for Lost City's Ultimate Battle theme uses the beginning of the Wild West Ultimate Battle theme, and has some of the Ancient Egypt and Frostbite Caves in the ending.
 * The Brainiac Maniac theme uses some of the music from the Pirate Seas version in the beginning.
 * Lost City's Ultimate Battle and Brainiac Maniac use an orchestra and vibraphones in the beginning, and end with an acoustic guitar.
 * It is the first new world since Far Future to only introduce only one new environment modifier.

 * A level with the same name and the same theme exists in the 1996 game Crash Bandicoot.
