Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 beta coming next week

There's going to be an open beta for Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 next week.

EA has announced that starting Thursday, January 14, the Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 beta will start on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The beta will be open to everyone and actually sounds pretty meaty.

Backyard Battleground, the game's interactive hub world will be available, alongside the KOTH-style mode Flag of Power.

The beta will have four maps, as well as six new character classes and some returning ones. Both Herbal Assault and Gardens & Graveyards multiplayer modes will be available, each supporting 12v12.

The beta ends Monday, January 18. Watch the announcement trailer below:
