ZCorp Incorporated Incorporation

ZCorp Incorporated Inc. is the 13th world in Plants vs. Zombies 2, released on April 13th, 2023. It includes new plants and ZCorp zombies hailing from Penny's Pursuit, along with a grand return of Umbrella Leaf from the first game. 
This world is revealed on March 3rd, 2023 with a training tape video uploaded on the official Plants vs. Zombies YouTube channel, followed with a sneak peek Piñata Parties two days later, showcasing Wi-Vine as a gem premium plant promoting the First Session of this world. On April 13th, 2023, ZCorp Incorporated Inc. First Session is fully-released. 
A week after, Plants vs. Zombies Twitter account post an image of Pole Vaulting Zombie with the caption "Legends always have their own origins...". Nothing else happened for a month after that post revealed, and fans suspecting that Pole Vaulting Zombie will return to the game for Plants vs. Zombies' 14th Anniversary. Turns out, he isn't. On May 14th, 2023, a sneak peek Piñata Parties for the Second Session begun, showcasing Capaci-cone as a premium plant promoting it. Three weeks later, on May 30th, ZCorp Incorporated Inc. Second Session is fully-released. 
ZCorp Incorporated Inc. takes place in the late-90s, a decade right after Neon Mixtape Tour and before the events of Modern Day. This is where the rise of the internet ushered in a radical new era of communication, business and entertainment.
There is one gimmick served in the First Session, but then extended by three in the Second Session, which makes the world introduces four gimmicks in total:
* The first one is keyboard tiles, which comes in two types depending on their corresponding symbols attached on the keyboard. Each one of them can add or remove a copy of certain zombies who stay on that tile for too long and the other acts like slider tiles from Frostbite Caves, where zombies that step on it will move into another lane adjacent to it. After one usage, the keyboard tiles will recharge for 10 seconds before being able to be used again.
* The Second Session of the world shifts to nighttime, meaning no sun will fall from the sky, similar to Dark Ages.
* The third one is vents. They can transport zombies to other lanes and progressively attacking your defenses from behind, all connected each other with different appearances. By closing the vent on the left with Cork-shroom, zombies that will reach to the surface will get drowned by him (except ZCorp Security Guard).
* The fourth and final one is power outage. Right after the red flashing text of "Powerdown!", the building temporarily shuts the power down, resulting the whole lawn cannot be seen, until it was turned back on again. Overall, it acts like the Dark Stormy Night mechanic from the first game. However, any light sources produced by plants and zombies can illuminate a radius of one tile to let the player see anything, but some plants can light a 3x3 radius light which lets the player see anything easier.
