Frostbite Caves Resurgence
The 9th and 15th secret realms in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2
18th December, 2023 (first event, Android)

Not to be confused with Frostbite Caves Resurgence, the theme song with the same name.

Frostbite Caves Resurgence (冰河再临; pinyin: Bīnghé Zài Lín) is a Secret Realm and the 23rd world overall, introduced in the v3.2.7 update as an expansion to Frostbite Caves.

This Secret Realm features 20 levels, with 10 on a normal mode and 10 on a hard mode. Although this Secret Realm serves as an expansion to Frostbite Caves, it is distinctive from the expansions in the international version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. It features a brand new lawn exclusive to the realm, a remix of Frostbite Caves' OST, a snowing effect for the hard mode levels, and last but not least, veterans that double as elite zombies. Additionally, sun does not fall from the sky, similarly to night stages.

This secret realm was open at December 21st, 2023, primarily intended as a permanent secret realm, but was shut down at January 31st, 2024 due to balancing issues, making it no longer accessible. It re-opened from December 20th, 2024 to January 14th, 2025 in the v3.5.8 update, this time as a limited-time secret realm, bringing a balance change to the difficulty of the realm, as well as changing the rewards.

Dialogue

(Penny appears)

Penny: Brrrrr, my space and time travel alarm went off.

(Crazy Dave appears)

Crazy Dave: Oh, that doesn't sound like good news.

Penny: It seems... It seems something has happened during the Frostbite Caves.

Crazy Dave: Looks like that big head is up to something again, let's go meet him!

(Crazy Dave and Penny leave)

Trivia

• The final wave for this realm unintentionally uses the Modern Day final wave intro soundtrack due to improper music installation.
  • This issue is only present in the iOS version.
• An expansion for Frostbite Caves in the international version was planned several years before this, but scrapped likely due to the negative reception expansions received. Most of the zombie designs from this secret realm originate from these concepts, though modified. (Unsourced)
