In Garden Warfare 2, what do the zombies rename Suburbia?

In Garden Warfare 2, the zombies rename Suburbia “Zomburbia.”

The game’s story begins after Dr. Zomboss and the zombie forces seize control of Suburbia. They rename the conquered town Zomburbia, turning the name itself into a joke about zombie occupation and making the renamed city the setting for the continuing plant-versus-zombie conflict.

Suburbia is not simply a menu label. It is the town represented in the game’s Backyard Battleground hub, which is divided between plant and zombie territory. The plants, led by Crazy Dave, fight to reclaim their home after the zombies take control. This story framing explains why the game’s spaces include bases, missions, collectibles, and battles on both sides of the neighborhood.

Zomburbia should not be confused with Zombopolis, another zombie-themed location added through downloadable content. Nor is it the same as Neighborville, the setting associated with the later Battle for Neighborville. Garden Warfare 2 was released in February 2016 for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One.
