Plants Vs. Zombies 3 Servers Shut Down As EA Plans 'Major Overhaul'
Plants Vs. Zombies 3 Servers Shut Down As EA Plans 'Major Overhaul'
Despite the reset, EA reassured players that some aspects of their accounts will be preserved. Any earned or purchased coin balances will remain intact, provided players have connected their accounts through Google Play, Apple ID, or an EA Account. Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ:EA) will take Plants vs. Zombies 3 offline, halting downloads and in-app purchases in preparation for a "major overhaul."
藝電（納斯達克:EA）將會關閉《植物大戰殭屍3》，暫停下載和應用內購買，爲"重大改革"做準備。
The company announced that the game, which has gone through multiple soft launches since 2020, will be inaccessible from Nov. 15, 2024, in all territories. Players will have until that date to enjoy the game before the servers shut down completely.
公司宣佈，這款遊戲自2020年以來經歷了多次軟發佈，將於2024年11月15日在所有地區不可訪問。玩家在此日期之前將有機會享受遊戲，之後服務器將完全關閉。
In a blog post addressing the changes, EA explained: "We've been grateful for your enthusiasm and feedback during our soft launch. We've always had love for our plants, and yes, even our zombies, and it has been a joy bringing life to Dave, his niece, Patrice, Nate, and many more in PvZ3."
在一篇博文中解釋這些改變，藝電解釋說:"我們爲您在我們的軟發佈期間的熱情和反饋表示感激。我們始終熱愛我們的植物，是的，甚至我們的殭屍，給Dave、他的侄女、Patrice、Nate等帶來生機一直是一種樂趣。"
Game Progress And Currency Preservation
遊戲進度和貨幣保護
Despite the reset, EA reassured players that some aspects of their accounts will be preserved. Any earned or purchased coin balances will remain intact, provided players have connected their accounts through Google Play, Apple ID, or an EA Account.
儘管重置，藝電向玩家保證他們帳戶的某些方面將會被保留。任何賺取或購買的硬幣餘額將保持不變，前提是玩家通過Google Play、蘋果ID或藝電帳戶連接他們的帳戶。
However, boosts, game progress, levels, and unlocked units, as well as the game's narrative, will be reset once the overhaul is complete.
然而，增益、遊戲進度、等級、已解鎖的單位，以及遊戲敘事，在重大改革完成後將被重置。
"We want to go even further to make the game truly special," EA stated, stressing the need for this downtime to deliver a more polished experience. It's worth noting that there's no firm date for the game's re-launch.
"我們希望進一步使遊戲變得真正特別，" 藝電錶示，強調這段停機時間是爲了提供一個更加完美的體驗。值得注意的是，遊戲的重新發布尚無確定日期。
The Ongoing Struggles Of Plants Vs. Zombies 3
《植物大戰殭屍3》的持續掙扎
Plants vs. Zombies 3 has experienced a turbulent development path, struggling to replicate the success of its predecessors. Initially soft-launched in 2020, the game underwent a significant re-work and re-launch in 2022. Yet, despite efforts to fine-tune the game, it still hasn't resonated with fans in the way EA had hoped.
《植物大戰殭屍3》經歷了一條動盪的發展道路，努力複製其前作的成功。最初於2020年進行了軟推出，但遊戲在2022年經歷了重大改版和重新推出。然而，儘管努力調整遊戲，但它仍未如藝電所希望的那樣引起粉絲的共鳴。
The original Plants vs. Zombies franchise, beloved for its unique tower defense mechanics, set a high bar with its first two installments. More recent spin-offs, including the Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville, have struggled to capture the same widespread acclaim.
原版《植物大戰殭屍》系列因其獨特的塔防機制而備受喜愛，在頭兩部作品中設立了高標準。包括《植物大戰殭屍：鄰里之戰》在內的最新衍生作品，一直在努力贏得同樣廣泛的讚譽。
Future Of The Franchise
系列的未來
Fans of the franchise have long been calling for a return to the Garden Warfare series, the third-person shooter spin-off that earned a dedicated following. However, there's been no official word from EA on a new Garden Warfare title, despite the franchise's current hiatus since 2019.
該系列的粉絲長期以來一直呼籲重返《植物大戰殭屍：花園戰爭》系列，這個第三人稱射擊衍生作品贏得了忠實的追隨者。然而，儘管自2019年以來該系列一直處於停滯狀態，但藝電尚未發佈有關新的《花園戰爭》標題的官方消息。
A separate single-player Plants vs. Zombies game, which had been in development at EA between 2015 and 2017, was also canceled.
藝電曾在2015年至2017年間開發的一款獨立單人版《植物大戰殭屍》遊戲也被取消。
