The release of Plants Vs Zombies by publisher PopCap Games proved that downloadable titles with a casual theme could also have some hardcore game elements. It's also addictively fun. So naturally some people have been wondering if a sequel to this tower defense variation is in the works.

We may not have much longer to wait on that score as PC Gamer has just posted up a note it got from PopCap Games.to save the date on August 2 for some kind of announcement. The artwork features a familiar looking limb coming out of the ground. From the looks of it we may be getting word soon on Plants Vs Zombies 2. Or it could just be about some hand coming out of the soil. Either way, it should be fun.
