Lost City

Lost City is the eighth world in Plants vs. Zombies 2. Its official trailer was released on May 22, 2015. The world appears to be set in early Mesoamerica, but the zombies come from a more modern era of exploration. The teaser Piñata Parties for Lost City commenced on May 26, 2015; 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.

Lost City Part 2 Trailer was released on June 21, 2015, along with the Dev Diary 2 days later, June 23, 2015. Another 2 days later, Part 2 was soft released for Android devices.

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 then produce another 50 sun every 20 seconds until eaten, crushed, or moved by the zombies. Nothing special happens when the player uses Plant Food on a plant located on a Gold Tile.

Trap Tiles are also added to the game in Part 2. They have a boulder sign on them or a fire sign on them. When a plant or zombie is on the trap tiles, they will activate. The boulder tile will roll a boulder on and one vertical row in front of the trap tile itself, killing all the zombies present on the two vertical lanes. The fire tile will burn all the plants and zombies on the row the trap tile was on. Like a Jalapeno but with green flames. All zombies and plants can activate the Trap Tiles except flying or floating zombies.

The new plants for this world are Red Stinger, A.K.E.E., Endurian, Stallia, and Gold Leaf. The new Zombies are Lost Pilot Zombie, Excavator Zombie, Parasol Zombie, Bug Zombie, Imp Porter, Relic Hunter Zombie, and Turquoise Skull Zombie.

When Lost City Part 1 was released, Lava Guava became available to purchase for 129 gems.

On June 23, 2015, Toadstool was released to be able to purchase for $4.99.

Trivia

 * Lost City, Dark Ages, Big Wave Beach and Frostbite Caves are so far the only worlds to be released in parts.

 * Also, this is the first Gargantuar battle to have the Demonstration Mini-game theme played instead of the Ultimate Battle theme.
 * This may be because the natives had not seen the gargantuar of this world yet.
