Which two mobile platforms launched Plants vs. Zombies 2?

Plants vs. Zombies 2 launched on two mobile platforms: iOS and Android.

The sequel first arrived worldwide on Apple’s App Store for iPhone, iPad, and compatible iPod touch devices on August 15, 2013. An Android release followed on Google Play on October 2, 2013. These were the game’s launch mobile platforms, making the sequel a major step in PopCap’s shift toward free-to-play mobile gaming.

Plants vs. Zombies 2 retained the original’s tower defense structure but added touch-focused controls, time-travel worlds, plant food, and a larger progression system. It was not initially a PlayStation Vita, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, or Nook launch title, which makes the platform pair in the question important.

The game was published by Electronic Arts and developed by PopCap Games. Although the franchise later appeared across consoles, computers, and other mobile devices, those later releases should not be confused with Plants vs. Zombies 2’s original launch platforms.
