"Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded Rated by Brazil's Classification Board"

It's a day ending in Y, and you know what that means! Yes, it's time for some exciting speculation about upcoming releases, and today we've got something with a bit more substance. Reports have emerged that a new entry in the beloved Plants Vs. Zombies franchise, titled Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded, has been classified by the Brazilian Classificação Indicativa rating board.

The classification is for both mobile and console platforms, which is a strong indicator that the game is well into its development cycle. It's worth noting that a classification differs from a trademark filing, which is typically where early rumors originate. In this case, the Brazilian rating board likely had access to an early build of Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded to provide a classification.

Interestingly, the game has been given an L or all-ages rating, fitting well with the family-friendly nature of the Plants Vs. Zombies series. However, specifics such as pricing or the inclusion of microtransactions remain undisclosed.

While it's not guaranteed that Plants Vs. Zombies Reloaded will hit the market, the classification indicates that it's far enough along in development that we might see an official announcement sometime this year.
