Waves of plants would come in, with the idea to play defense across the new Zomboss Factory stage, a level that serves as the final production line for zombots. I recently had an opportunity to try Garden Warfare 2 out, taking control of Imp and Z-Mech for a round of Graveyard Ops, the game's new four-player co-op mode. He's mainly a run-and-gun type, who will shower the battlefield with bullets (or kernals).

Kernal Corn - This military mastermind works as the plants' assault class.

He's mainly a melee fighter that can also fire off handy hand-lasers.

Super Brainz - This is a zombie superhero with dreams of becoming an action movie star.

She also has the ability to polymorph zombies into goats. She moves about the battlefield with floaty movements and a wand that shoots thistles at foes.

She once had a vision of the zombie-run future, so she's traveled forward in time to help lend a helping branch.

Rose - This plant mystic also hails from the past.

Captain Deadbeard is an undead pirate that acts as the zombies' sniper class, which helps open up the battlefield.

Captain Deadbeard - In addition to forces from the future, both sides will also get some help from the past.

Citron can roll around in a ball form before morphing into his assault form, which is armed with a powerful EM-Peach.

Citron - This is a genetically modified orange, sent in from the future to help give the plants a bit of an edge in their fight to overtake Zomburbia.

While he can use his diminutive stature to hit and run, Imp can also call in a massive futuristic mech suit called Z-Mech and use it to light up enemies and stomp any that get too close.

Imp & Z-Mech - This zombie is something of a two-pronged threat.

Shacknews recently had a chance to check out some of the new characters, including: Six new classes will grace Garden Warfare 2, with over 40 characters available at launch.
