PopCap Games and Electronic Arts announces a sequel to their beloved family-friendly plant organism versus undead human game series – Plants Vs Zombies 3. For years, the studio provided adults and children alike with their original franchise and they’re building on it for an entirely new generation of players. Before they can do that, however, the developers need to test out some new features with a free pre-alpha test available now.

To sign up for the Plants Vs Zombies 3’s pre-alpha, Android users with a Galaxy S7 or higher can head on over to the Google Play Store. Since it’s under “early construction,” participants can expect a fair amount of bugs and visual aspects that won’t reflect on the final product. Despite its limited number of downloads per wave, if you don’t get your turn this time around, there will be another chance in the near future. For the time being, iOS user will have to wait.

The Plants Vs Zombies 3 pre-alpha is completely free for accept participants, and there will be zero microtransactions! As for what features PopCap is trying to test out, mum’s the word. Here’s what they had to say on that:

We’re still testing different features of PvZ 3 and can’t wait to show you more! We want to make sure we have everything ready and in tip-top shape for you to enjoy, so we’ll let you know when we have a worldwide release date. Until then, make sure you are in the know by signing up here.”
