Casual video game publisher PopCap Games announced today that it’s working on a sequel to its popular tower defense title Plants vs. Zombies. The original game, which features comic zombie characters attacking a house defended by plants, was a smash hit when it debuted in May 2009. It sold more than 300,000 copies in its first nine days, setting a record for Apple App Store launches.
