PopCap Launches Plants vs. Zombies on Renren, Don't Hold Your Breath For U.S. Release

PopCap Games launched a social game adaptation of its Plants vs. Zombies tower defense franchise on Chinese social network Renren today. The developer told us last month that “what happens in Asia stays in Asia,” so we don’t expect to see a United States release of the title for Facebook anytime soon.

Plants vs. Zombies is played in series of increasingly difficult battle encounters where zombies progress across a lawn toward a house. The player fights off the zombies by planting various flowers, shrubs, and other garden variety plants in the lawn that then attack the zombies with different powers or defend other attacking plants.
