Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is expanding soon with the release of the "Graveyard Variety Pack." A free expansion containing a new map, missions, and more, the Variety Pack launches March 8 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

　　The announcement video is below, while more details can be seen further down.

　　In terms of new content, the update introduces the co-op/team vanquish map "Aqua Center." Additionally, a night version of the Great White North map is now available in the Turk Takeover playlist.

　　Additionally, new "Hide n' Find" missions will be available in Backyard Battleground, while the World Options page will now show you all of your friends playing the game, not just those who are in joinable matches.

　　Garden Warfare 2's Graveyard Variety Pack also includes a number of "critical" gameplay and balance tuning changes. These were outlined on EA's website and are listed off below. One major change that stands out is that the Rose class has been "completely re-tuned," bringing her back to a support role.

　　Completely re-tuned Rose class, bringing her back into playing as a support roleReduced Rose’s healthMajor changes to her homing abilities, ineffective at range, requires player to lead target in order to land more hitsSlightly reduced rate of fire for Magic ThistlesSignificantly reduced length a victim is trapped in Time SnareChanged how Goatify ability works so that damage does not break Goatify, creating a more predictable and less jarring experience and lowered time as a goatSlowed down rose variants (Fire, Ice) when charging their weapons to make them more vulnerableCitron:

　　Slightly decreased the Party Citron laser damageCorn:

　　We needed to improve Corn's ability to be a front-line fighter so we increased his health and also improved his long range damageReduced Party Corn's damage outputChomper:

　　Decreased the digestion time after a chomp escape (i.e. your victim got away using anti-chomp ability like jackhammer)Brought Chompers regeneration delay to parity with all other playable charactersFixed a bug where Chomp Thing’s health regeneration didn’t match his weapon description. He now regenerates health slightly sooner and faster than defaultIncreased Unicorn Chomper’s Rainbow Warp cooldown timeIncreased goop cooldown so it couldn't be spammed quite as muchCactus:

　　Zen Cactus was too damaging and needed some damage and reload adjustmentsImp:

　　Imps tuning focused on ensuring he had a bit more survivability outside of his mech, and also improved his primary weapon slightlyIncreased Imp healthFixed a bug where the Imp couldn’t receive damage while he is making his Z-Mech phone call (he's now only invulnerable when the beam of light appears)Reduced Party Imp's damage outputSuper Brainz:

　　Slight cooldown reduction to Super Ultra Ball and Super Multi Ball abilitiesMinor speed improvement to Turbo Twister but at the cost of decreased his armor while in Turbo TwisterRemoved the decay from Toxic Brainz legendary meter to make it more usefulDamage reduction to Party BrainzCaptain Deadbeard:

　　We wanted to bring Captain Deadbeard closer to damage parity with Cactus, but just slightly below since he also benefits from his close range scatter shotMade some movement speed improvements to his barrel when unlitMade some damage reductions to Captain Partyman
