Battlez
Battlez is a new multiplayer mode that will pit players against each other. It includes leagues, multiple new currencies, and allows players to choose avatars based on various plants and zombies to represent themselves. Players have to have a certain number of plants to unlock Battlez, and players need a solid internet connection to use Battlez.

How Battlez works
Battlez pits two player at a time against each other in matches. Each player must use an army of plants to defeat zombies as quickly as possible. Every zombie defeated gives a player points, depending on how far from the house the zombie was defeated. The players have a certain time limit to battle, but an additional 30 seconds can be purchased with Gems, and 10 seconds via ads. The player who has the highest score wins, and receives a new currency called Crowns, and win streaks reward more Crowns.

Battlez categorises players into leagues, depending on the number of Crowns they have. The leagues (from lowest to highest) are: Soil, Wood, Brick, Iron, Copper, Silver, Gold, Jade, and Crystal. All new players automatically start in Copper league. Crowns allow players to gain a higher place on the leaderboard of their respective leagues, with the top 5 players being promoted to the next league.

There are also two other new currencies: Tickets and Gauntlets. It's currently unknown what they do, but they can be purchased, most likely with real money. Players can watch ads to receive free Gauntlets.

Unlocking Multiplayer
(Crazy Dave and Penny appear)

Penny: User Dave. I have detected a new rift opening. We are now able to access "Battlez."

Crazy Dave: Battlez?! That sounds like an arborena of gardening warfare!

Penny: Battlez will allow us to demonstrate our planting prowess for prestige and prizes.

Crazy Dave: That's a lot of peas! That's how I know it's good.

How to Play Multiplayer
Defeat zombies to score points. Score more than your opponent before time runs out to win!

Zombies get more difficult and more valuable as you defeat them quickly. The further from your house they fall, the more you'll score!

Joust matches reward Crowns, Win Streaks reward bonus Crowns. Earn as many Crowns as you can to climb to the top of your leaderboard!

Place in the top 5 of your leaderboard for a promotion into a more competitive league with better rewards, and more challenging opponents.

Trivia

 * Battlez is themed after the medieval time period. Most specifically, it is themed after jousting, a sport that was first played in medieval times.
 * Coincidentally, the lawn for Battlez is a redesigned version of the lawn used for the Dark Ages teaser Piñata Parties, and Dark Ages is based on medieval times. Also, the avatars for Battlez include Puff-shroom, Sun-shroom Hypno-Shroom and Jester Zombie, characters introduced in said world.
 * With the addition of Battlez, players will be unable to create multiple accounts.

Icy Currant
This plant has been found in the game's code. There is only one texture for it, being its seed packet image, showing that it appears to be an ice version of Electric Currant. What it does is currently unknown.

New Vasebreaker levels
Three new levels of Far Future, Dark Ages, and Big Wave Beach Vasebreaker have been added to the code, though specifics are currently unknown.

Specific to Far Future and Dark Ages Vasebreaker

 * The Vasebreaker levels for Far Future and Dark Ages appeared since a very early version of Plants vs. Zombies 2.

Jukebox
There is currently a data for the 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 The code suggests that it can be played in the pause menu and Endless Zones. It also has UI but currently has no textures.

Dark Ages additional levels
Dark Ages is getting 10 new levels as well with its own new zombies. As of the release of Pirate Seas Days 26-35, the player can see empty slots for these three new zombies in the Almanac. It appears that there will be a new variant of Brickhead Zombie, a Rally Zombie variant for Dark Ages and an upgraded version of Wizard Zombie.

Trivia

 * Dark Ages will now have two zombies with machined protection, similar to Jurassic Marsh.
 * The zombies from Dark Ages additional levels can appear in Modern Day Inzanity levels.

Moongrains music
In the 6.0.1 OBB file, there was a new music track added. The music's melody is similar to Moongrains (the Night music in Plants vs. Zombies). It is unknown what it will be used for.

Choose Your Seeds from Plants vs. Zombies
In the 6.1.1 alpha version OBB file, there was also music added that is nearly identical to the Choose Your Seeds music in the first game, but again, with different instruments.

Trivia

 * This could be related to the Moongrains music above.
