Peggle 2, PVZ: Garden Warfare will launch first on Xbox One

UPDATE: Xbox One-exclusive mode, Russell Brand to lend voice.

UPDATE: PopCap has just announced new Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare details during EA's Gamescom press conference.

Set to launch first on Xbox 360 and Xbox One, PopCap confirmed you'll be able to play as both plants and zombies, the latter of which can be customised and decked out in various classes.

While the game will come to other platforms later, Xbox One will get the just-announced Boss Mode as an exclusive. The offering uses Kinect and SmartGlass functionality and sees you control either Crazy Dave or evil Doctor Zomboss - voiced by none other than Russell Brand.

ORIGINAL STORY: Two of PopCap's biggest upcoming releases will arrive first on Xbox One, Microsoft has announced.

Microsoft's next-gen platform will be the launch console of choice for both Peggle 2 and Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare.

PopCap briefly mentioned a Peggle sequel during EA's E3 2013 press conference. Garden Warfare - a 3D third-person shooter spin-off from the tower defense series - has been known of for some time.

Peggle 2 will be an Xbox One launch title, available this November.

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare will launch sometime next year.
