On Facebook, the image is captioned: "Plants vs. … Reapers?" with a hashtag suggesting the game will be discussed in greater detail at next month's Electronic Entertainment Expo.

EA will also give a "first look" at its plans for new Star Wars games during the presentation. The company previously suggested that it may be working on an all-new Star Wars Battlefront game.

Is this a nerd inability to understand obvious things like 'combining successful properties' or some more complex reference to the codex explaining reapers are not weak vs flaming nuts?
