This week's Nintendo Direct saw the reveal of Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted, an upcoming remake of the classic zombie-blasting arcade strategy game, co-developed by PopCap Games and The Lost Pixels. It was a nice surprise for fans of the series, which has since sprawled across multiple genres under publisher EA, which acquired PvZ and Bejeweled studio PopCap over a decade ago, but a significantly less nice surprise for original Plants vs. Zombies artist Rich Werner, who says he wasn't informed of the remake's existence or asked to work on it.
"Just saw the post about PVZ reboot," Werner said in a tweet. "It's cool, but wish someone would at least contact me. Kinda sux. I'd be down to help with it... whatever, I guess. Par for the course."
