Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time will be released July 18 exclusively on iOS as a free-to-play title, developer PopCap Games announced today alongside the release of the CG launch trailer for the tower defense title.
《植物大战僵尸2：惊喜时刻》将于7月18日免费上架，暂时为iOS平台独占。开发商PopCap游戏公司今日也推出了这款塔防游戏的官方预告片。
Optional upgrades and in-game items can be purchased at the returning neighborly shopkeeper, Crazy Dave, but according to PopCap, the "vast majority" of the game will be free: Players will be able to access every level and kill every zombie without spending a dime.
根据PopCap游戏公司，在游戏中，玩家可以选择去“邻居”疯狂的戴夫那儿购买升级，以及一些游戏中的小玩意儿。但是“绝大多数”还是免费的：玩家不花一分钱也可以通关，大战僵尸。

The trailer features the botanist who saves the world from the zombie onslaught, as well as the man's ramshackle time machine, and Plants vs. Zombies 2 will take players through levels in past and future eras. Touchscreen power-ups will let players interact with zombies directly, instead of just fending them off by setting up defenses like pea shooters.
本次的预告片中，新出现了一位保护世界防止僵尸攻击的植物学家，还有他那破旧不堪的时光机器。《植物大战僵尸2》的玩家可以在游戏中“穿越时空”。“触屏充能”的功能让玩家能够更直接地与僵尸接触，而不是不停地放置像豌豆射手这样的植物来进行防御。
"We're confident that players will see the love and attention we've put into this game," said senior producer Allen Murray in a press release announcing the release date.
“我们确信，玩家在体验过程中一定会发现我们对这个游戏感情和重视，” 在公布游戏发布时间的记者会上，资深制作人Allen Murray这样说道。

"We've created wild new ways to experience the plants and zombies you know and love as well as packing the game with tons of completely new content, and we're still hard at work coming up with even more cool stuff that will keep Plants vs. Zombies 2 fresh and evolving in the months and years following launch."
“我们开发出很多新的方式让玩家体验他们喜爱的植物和僵尸，而且在游戏中注入了很多新元素，同时，我们仍致力于开发一些新的有趣的东西，让《植物大战僵尸2》在上市之后的日子里保持新鲜感，不断升级。”
PopCap originally announced Plants vs. Zombies 2 last August and said it planned to launch the game in the "late spring" of 2013. Last month, the studio shifted the release date to July.
PopCap公司原本在去年八月宣布《植物大战僵尸2》将在2013春末发布。上个月，公司将发布日期改为七月。
