This page lists unused content and concept art for the game Plants vs. Zombies Heroes. It should be noted that these descriptions are not fabricated but are primarily found in various versions of the game's code.
Concept art[]
Plants vs. Zombies Heroes started development in 2014 and concept art exists from the game's earliest stages.
In addition to these images, a video exists on Vimeo showing the game's earliest animations. Some of the art style seems based on Plants vs. Zombies Adventures.
Game of Plants[]
The Game of Plants (based on Game of Thrones) is mentioned a few times in the code. It was presumably a title of an event. Some unused descriptions like "Winter is coming," "Summer is coming" and "Mekka Lekka Hi-Mekka Hiney BRAINS!" might be related to this. Additionally, two unknown heroes are mentioned—Crime Biter and Professor Von Bats.
Fastest Match Icon[]
Patchnotes for version 1.18.3 claimed to add a "Fastest Match Icon" and that "In Multiplayer, if you can get faster matchmaking at your Rank by playing Plants or Zombies, you'll see a Fastest Match icon.", however, this icon never existed in the game.
Internal names[]
Sometimes during the loading screen for a multiplayer game, the game uses different names for the heroes in the code than in the actual game. These names are sometimes used for multiplayer names for users under the age of 13 or if connection is too slow to load the username.
Heroes[]
Cards[]
Additionally, the classes Crazy and Beastly are code-named madcap and hungry, respectively.

Trivia[]
- In Spudow's concept Hero Intro comic, you can see Cakesplosion has hair, while in the final game, he does not have any hair.
- Though, in early beta releases, Cakesplosion would have hair on Pack Art, and this would be changed later, meaning Cakesplosion likely had hair at some point in development.
- According to the code for Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, Yeti Lunchbox was going to be a superpower.
- Nibble was also going to be a superpower as well.
- It's likely Teleportation Zombie's design was changed to make it look less close to copyrighted material from Star Trek, but it could've also been changed out of creativity.
- Cat Lady and Fraidy Cat's textures are located in the same section of the game files in early releases of PvZ Heroes. As only fighters who share textures are stored this way, one can assume that they were linked at some point or even part of the same fighter in earlier versions.
- Crazy Dave and Dr. Zomboss have unused full-body textures. According to code, they were going to be Heroes themselves instead of simply instructing the player.
- The Unused hero leveling system includes Dr. Zomboss and Crazy Dave as Heroes the player can get Hero Shards for, furthering this theory.
