The Lost City of Gold Pt.1 update is here in Plants vs. Zombies™ 2! 

Meet the new Plants and Zombies below and get ready for the new world.

Name: Excavator Zombie Attack: Digs up plants and throws them behind him.

Excavator Zombie once heard a song about having a hammer. He liked the idea, but decided it was too mainstream for him – so he got a shovel. Now he’s confident that he’s clearly the coolest zombie, the others are just too jealous to admit it.

Name: Bug Zombie and Bug Attack: Blocks incoming projectiles, but is vulnerable to lobbed shots.

Bug Zombie and Bug make a great team, partly because Bug gives Bug Zombie great mobility, but mostly because they share an intense disinterest in horses.

Name: Parasol Zombie Attack: Parasol provides protection from lobbed projectiles.

Wealthy beyond reason, the Parasol Zombie lived a life of luxury – when what she craved was a life of adventure. She funded the expedition to the Lost City and set out to see its wonders for herself, never forgetting to bring her trusty parasol. “In case it rains,” she explained – but it only came out sounding like “Brains.”

Name: Porter Gargantuar Attack: Terrifying behemoth of exploratory fury.

Porter Gargantuar dreams of the discovery that will make him powerful and influential. Maybe then the Imps will be the one carrying him around. It's always nice to have dreams.

Name: Lost City Imp Attack: Gets tossed past most defenses, then explores on foot.

Nepotism got Lost City Imp where he is. He’s Bug Zombie’s second cousin thrice removed, but he parlayed that connection into a sweet gig getting carried around in a little box.

Name: Red Stinger Attack: Red Stingers fire shots at full force when close to home.

Flexibility is of key importance to Red Stinger. "I do stretching exercises every morning," he says. "It's important to stay mentally and physically nimble."

Name: Autonomous Katapulting Ejectomatic Emitter Attack: A.K.E.E.s lob projectiles that bounce from zombie to zombie.

Autonomous Katapulting Ejectomatic Emitter is actively looking for a different acronym for A.K.E.E., because let's face it, "Katapulting" is just not working.

Name: Endurian Attack: Defensive plants that deal damage to zombies attacking it.

“When other plants talk about me, they say I’m too gruff. They say I’m difficult to approach, that I’m afraid to let others get too close to me. Also, I smell terrible,” said Endurian. But deep down inside, he knows that he’s so much more than that. He’s also short-tempered.

Name: Lava Guava Attack: Lava Guavas erupt, creating a lava pool that burns zombies.

Lava Guava frowns with barely-repressed rage. He's trying to keep it in check. He's trying so hard. But one day some zombie's going to push him too far and he can't be held responsible for the consequences.
