Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville has a new addition to its roster in the shape of a Wizard Zombie able to conjure up magic that, as it turns out, is quite deadly to plants.
The Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville Wizard Zombie was introduced as part of the title’s ongoing Luck o’ the Zombie Festival event that kicked off earlier this month, on March 2.
