This page lists upcoming content for Plants vs. Zombies 2. Please note that things change over time, and that some things listed now might become scrapped later. For these reasons, the concepts page serves as an archive of past features.

Icy Currant
This plant has been found in the game's code. There is a texture for it, in which it appears to be an ice variant of Electric Currant. It is currently unknown what it does.

Trivia

 * It is the fourth ice variant of a plant in the main series, behind Snow Pea, Winter Melon, and Missile Toe.
 * However, Icy Currant is the sixth overall if you include the spin-off games, which contain Chilly Pepper and Winter Squash.
 * This is still discounting all of the ice variations of classes in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare and Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2.

Caulipower
This premium plant has also been found in the game's code. There is a texture for it, in which it appears to be a cauliflower-like plant with Hypno-shroom-like eyes. Currently, the only way to unlock Caulipower is to edit the hex of plants.

Almanac Entry
Caulipowers use their mental powers to hypnotize random zombies and turn them against their former friends.

Special: hovers above ground or water

Caulipower's eyes spin with distress. He's just thought of a really great ending for his novel, but he's afraid his cousin won't understand it.

Plant Food Effect
Currently, Caulipower's Plant Food effect tosses away 3 zombies, as if the player used a Power Toss.

Trivia

 * It does not show its eyes when it is not hypnotizing zombies.
 * According to the almanac entry, he is amphibious.
 * Its cousin referred in the Almanac could be Hypno-shroom, as they both hypnotize zombies to fight for you.
 * However, Hypno-shroom must be eaten to affect zombies, while Caulipower can target random zombies just like Electric Blueberry.
 * Similarly, both have swirly eyes in their designs.
 * It might be the fourth plant that can be planted on both water and ground without Lily Pad. The first is Ghost Pepper, the second is Guacodile, and the third is Rotobaga.
 * Beside all of these plants above, this and Ghost Pepper are the only premium ones that can hover.
 * It cannot be smashed by Surfer Zombie, but instead they eat it.

New Vasebreaker levels
Three new levels of Big Wave Beach Vasebreaker have been added to the code.

Arcade Machine
The arcade machine appears to be a new mode where the player gets to play minigames. According to the sprites, the known minigames appear to be Vasebreaker, Wall-nut Bowling or Column Like You See 'Em and a Pac-Man resembling minigame, with the head of a Chomper being Pac-Man. 8-Bit Zombie's sprites are also featured in the sprites for the Arcade Machine, suggesting that 8-Bit Zombie will be featured in some of these minigames. Bonk Choy sprites can also be seen, so it may appear in Vasebreaker mode.

Trivia

 * The sprites that are found in the code are likely low quality to replicate 8-bit arcade systems.
 * The Arcade Machine is most likely based on, or is one of, the arcade machines that the Arcade Zombie pushes.
 * They both have pictures of a Peashooter and a Basic Zombie on them.
 * The icon of this mode will replace the icon of Vasebreaker.
 * The 8-bit scheme may be a reference to the nostalgia of the first game, having its original mini-games, though, the 8-bit may be an exaggeration of how long ago the first game was, giving it a retro feel.

Jukebox
There is currently data for a jukebox in the code. It is unknown how it works or where it can be played, however, it could provide a way to listen to the game's soundtrack.

Resources†ý...UI_PauseMenu..UI_DangerRoomþ, which suggests it could be played in the pause menu or Endless Zones.

It also has UI but currently has no textures.

This suggests it has a Song List, Rewind Button, Fast Forward Button, Play Button, Loop Button, and Shuffle Button.

It also appears they will have album artwork.

Pirate Seas additional levels
In the code, there are new levels for Pirate Seas as well as new zombies.

Barrelhead Zombie


Barrelhead Zombie's keg-like hat provides augmented protection.

Dredged from the deepest of seas, Barrelhead Zombie's barrel is a high-quality cask that fits just a but too snugly.

Pelican Zombie


Pelican Zombie crosses water without a plank and flies over low plants.

Special: floats over low plants

The Pelican Zombie upgraded from the Seagull Zombie and has no regrets. No egrets, either. Just a pelican.

Trivia

 * An egret is a type of bird.

Jolly Roger Zombie


Jolly Roger Zombie marks the arrival of lots and lots of zombies.

Jolly Roger Zombie and his flag are fused together into a single brain-munching unit. Their teamwork is an inspiration to ghouls everywhere.

Trivia

 * It is the only Rally Zombie to not have the word "rally" in it's name.

Zombot Plank Walker 2.0
The new Zombot for Pirate Seas.

Far Future additional levels
Far Future is also getting new levels with it's own new zombies. Levels 26 - 35 have been added.

Holo Head Zombie


Holo Head Zombie's head-mounted force field provides hyper-protection.

The force field gets its unique color from frequency harmonics and a liberal dose of purple paint.

Blastronaut Zombie


Blastronaut Zombie boosts to float over all but the tallest plants.

Special: floats over low plants, boosts over most other plants

Weakness: tall blocking plants

Blastronaut's rocket-pack is strictly ornamental; his hovering ability comes from a deep meditative state and from being full

Trivia

 * Its almanac is unfinished.

Robo-Rally Zombie


Robo-Rally Zombie and his flag marks the arrival of an above-average number of zombies.

If you look carefully, you'll notice that Robo-Rally Zombie's flag is a sophisticated piece of hovertech combined with a stick.

Deflector Zombie
Deflector Zombie protects himself with a powerful force field that stretches across 5 rows.

Trivia

 * Only the first part of its almanac entry is complete.

Mech-Cone Zombie
This zombie currenly has no almanac, and not much is known.

Zombot Tomorrow-tron 2.0
The Zombot for Far Future - Day 35.

Jurassic Marsh additional levels
Jurassic Marsh is getting new levels as well with it's own new zombies.

Amberhead Zombie


Amberhead Zombie's head-engulfing ball of amber provides hardened protection.

If you were to extract DNA from the Amberhead Zombie and combine it with the DNA of a frog, you'd be breaking the law at some point.

Trivia

 * The almanac entry references the movie series Jurassic Park, as in the first movie, a mosquito that bites a dinosaur gets stuck in amber, then many years later, humans found the preserved mosquito and combined the dinosaur DNA inside the mosquito with a frog/toad's and brought dinosaurs back from extinction.

Jurassic Rockpuncher


Jurassic Rockpuncher pummels plants with rocks tied to his hands.

Somebody tied rocks to Jurassic Rockpuncher's hands. Being unable to remove them (because he had rocks tied to his hands), he was left with no choice but to roll with it.

Jurassic Rally Zombie


Jurassic Rally Zombie marks the arrival of large group of zombies.

Where did Jurassic Rally Zombie get his fancy new flag? Nobody knows. It's a mystery. The police should look into it. Or maybe we could get a fund together and hire a detective. It's a real puzzle.

Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur 2.0
The new Zombot for Jurassic Marsh.

New Piñata Upgrade
A new upgrade has been found as a texture, and Señor Piñata appears with a "+1" to the right. It will probably make Señor Piñata appear more often.
