A Plants vs Zombies announcement is due next month with rumours staggering around and moaning that we’ll see Plants vs Zombies 2 unveiled. Now a list of achievements uncovered by the incredibly focused folk at Xbox360 Achievements seems to have revealed that multiplayer modes are coming to long-awaited Xbox Live Arcade version of Plants vs Zombies. Could the iPad and iPhone incarnations be getting the same treatment?

The list of Plants vs Zombies achievements is predominantly made up of single player tasks (like survive 40 waves of zombies or blast 10 zombies at once). However, two achievements point to new multiplayer modes. The first ZFF’s 4 Evr is for “winning with a friend in co-op Wall-Nut bowling” while the second Versus vs Versus is for “a 5 game winning streak in VS. mode.”

That makes it pretty plain that Plants vs Zombies on Xbox Live Arcade will include a Co-Op mode (at least for the bowling mini game) and a Versus mode which could even mean one player actually gets to take on the role of the zombies.

We’ve seen plenty of multiplayer iPhone and iPad games using Bluetooth to hook up players or hopping online to find foes . It wouldn’t be too surprising to see Co-Op and versus modes coming to Plants vs Zombies iPhone and iPad editions too. And just when we thought we’d knocked our addiction on the head!
