Plants vs. Zombies Heroes

Prerelease Info Unused Hero ContentUnused content releated to the game's heroes, their superpowers and anything else. Unused Card ContentUnused cards, early versions of cards, basically everything you can imagine.

Unused Graphics#

Fastest Match icon#

An unused icon of a burning clock can be found in the game's files. Interestingly, in the game's 1.18.3 update, it claimed to add a 'Fastest Match icon,' stating that 'In Multiplayer, if you can get faster matchmaking at your Rank by playing Plants or Zombies, you'll see a Fastest Match icon." While this mechanic was never seen in game, it's possible this was the icon it was referring to.

Funnily enough, this is actually just an edited version of the Detonator icon from Bejeweled Stars.

Zombie Nurse Early Access Pack#

An unused Early Access card pack, showing off a cut Zombie Nurse card. A Zombie Nurse card was never added to the game.

Game of Plants?#

The Game of Plants, likely a reference to the television series Game of Thrones, is referenced a few times in the code, likely a scrapped event similar to the Galactic Gardens event.

Internal Oddities#

Cat Lady and Fraidy Cat#

Cat Lady and Fraidy Cat's textures used be located in the same section of the files in earlier versions of the game. It's possible that these two cards were originally linked in some way, perhaps even a part of the same card.

Tricks#

Internally, tricks are known as 'Bursts' in the game files. This is most likely an earlier name for Tricks.

Internal Names#

Several of the heroes, cards, and even certain classes have internal names that are quite different compared to their names in-game.

Heroes#

Interestingly, during a loading of a multiplayer match, the internal names for the heroes in the code are used instead of their actual name. These names are sometimes used for multiplayer names for users under the age of 13 or if connection is too slow to load the username.
