Plants vs. Zombies 2 delayed past July 18

Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time needs a little more time to bloom. Developer PopCap today announced on the free-to-play tower defense title's official Twitter account that the game will miss its original release date of July 18.

Players can expect PvZ 2 to arrive on iPad "later in the summer." The original Plants vs. Zombies grew to encompass just about every platform short of Virtual Boy, so we can't imagine it will take much longer to appear on other systems.

Some peril is inherent in making a sequel's subtitle reference how overdue it is, we suppose.
