Pre-order Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 to get Mass Effect-inspired mech

Marches to old Mirror's Edge release date.

Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 will bed itself down to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 25th February 2016, EA has announced.

North America will get the shooter spin-off sequel a couple of days earlier on 22nd February.

If those dates sound familiar then sharp eyes on you - they originally belonged to Mirror's Edge: Catalyst, before it recently vacated March for May.

Pre-orders will unlock the Mass Effect-inspired Z7-Mech, a version of Mass Effect 3's Cerberus mech with N7-style livery. Snazzy!
