On what date did Plants vs. Zombies 2 release worldwide on the Apple App Store?

Plants vs. Zombies 2 released worldwide on the Apple App Store on August 15, 2013.

PopCap Games first soft-launched the sequel in Australia and New Zealand on July 9, 2013. That limited release helped the developer test the game's servers and free-to-play systems before the worldwide iOS launch.

The date is often confused with other milestones. July 18 was an earlier announced release target, while October 2 marked the game's Google Play soft launch in Australia and New Zealand. The worldwide Android release followed later in October.

Plants vs. Zombies 2 was subtitled It's About Time and sent players through settings including Ancient Egypt, Pirate Seas, and the Wild West. It retained the original lane-based defense while adding time-travel themes, Plant Food, and later competitive features.
