What was Plants vs. Zombies 2 originally subtitled?
Answer
It's About Time
Plants vs. Zombies 2 was originally subtitled “It’s About Time.”
The subtitle reflects the game’s central premise: Crazy Dave and the player travel through different historical periods while chasing a taco. Instead of defending one modern backyard throughout, players visit themed worlds based on eras such as Ancient Egypt, the Pirate Seas, and the Wild West.
PopCap Games developed the sequel, which launched as a free-to-play follow-up to the 2009 original. Its time-travel structure allowed the designers to introduce period-specific plants, zombies, maps, and gameplay mechanics while keeping the lane-based tower defense foundation intact.
The subtitle is easy to confuse with later Plants vs. Zombies names, including Garden Warfare, Battle for Neighborville, and Heroes. “It’s About Time” is specifically associated with Plants vs. Zombies 2’s original title and remains the standard answer even though later listings commonly shorten the name to Plants vs. Zombies 2.
