Electronic Arts has filed registrations for three different domain names that hint at something called Plants vs. Zombies Adventures.
PlantsVsZombiesAdventures, PlantsVsZombiesAdventure, and PvZAdventures.com were uncovered by web sleuth @supererogatory on Twitter.
This could be a new Plants vs. Zombies game, some kind of DLC, or it may just be an entirely different type of game that only uses the easily recognizable Plants vs. Zombies characters.
What do you think it is?

Square Enix recently registered warfornosgoth.com, which should be familiar to anyone who has played the Legacy of Kain series.
All we know is the name of the domain at the moment, which doesn't offer many clues, but Nosgoth is is where the Legacy of Kain series takes place. And Square Enix is the current owner of the Legacy of Kain intellectual property, so if there were to be a new entry in the series, it would be coming from them.
The last we heard of anything Legacy of Kain related, was in the form of DLC for Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.
Warner Bros. just went a domain name registration spree, any of which could be a hint at a new Batman game, or film.
All of the registered domain names have the word Arkham within them. The logical assumption is that one of these web sites may be the official future home of a new Batman game. However, with Nolan's Batman film trilogy complete, the next step in the film world may be to tackle a film version of a popular Batman franchise: Arkham. It's Batman, and it already has universal appeal thanks to the good will generated from the video game.
Check out the full list of registered domain names below.

Square Enix is working on something called All The Bravest. It's unclear if it is a new property or something related to an existing franchise. Square Enix has dabbled in other entertainment mediums before, but whatever All The Bravest is, it is some kind of video game, as its trademark (number 011386349) information makes clear.

The domain name ProjectBlackstone.com has been registered by Blizzard leading to speculation about what the developer could possibly have up its sleeves.
It could have something to do with the upcoming Diablo III expansion which has been promised, but not detailed. Or it could be something entirely new inside the world of Blizzard, although that seems less likely. What do you think it is?
Riot Games has finished up another legal dispute regarding a website domain name related to its popular League of Legends title. LeagueofLegends.co was previously awarded to the company by the World Intellectual Property Organization from the clutches of a domain squatter, and now LeagueofLegendsPorn.com has been reclaimed by Riot for its own use. The case actually closed in late September, but the ruling came online earlier this week.
Those looking for some racy pics of Miss Fortune or Akali getting it on, however, will be disappointed: The site never actually hosted any adult material, and now that Riot owns it, probably never will. But Riot is slowly securing its various domain name holdings online, making it easier for the company to connect players up to big company events like the recent World Championships in LA.

Sony Pictures Entertainment, the film production arm of the Sony conglomerate, registered a batch of domains playing off “console war movie” through brand protection company MarkMonitor. Sony Computer Entertainment, the company’s gaming branch, has no fingerprints on the registrations, suggesting this to be a full-tilt movie endeavor rather than a marketing plan for the next PlayStation, as Fusible ponders.
The full list of registered domains can be found below, but just to ease the shock, we’ll tell you they all include the words “console war,” some have “movie” and others still have the audacity to use a hyphen. The drama of war:

Sony Pictures registered a number of domain names for "Console War," suggesting we may see some type of bizarre video game movie in the future. As Fusible.com points out, this could also be marketing video for the still-unannounced PlayStation 4. The domains were not registered by Sony Computer Entertainment.
As with all trademark and domain registrations, this doesn't necessarily mean the information is confirmed. Companies like to future-proof possible ideas in the event they decide to use them.
Here's the full list of domains registered earlier this month:
console-war.net
console-warmovie.com
console-wars.net
console-warsmovie.com
consolewar-movie.com
consolewar-movie.net

Riot Games has secured the LeagueOfLegends.co (no “m”) website after filing a complaint earlier this year, saying that a domain squatter had grabbed the name and redirected it to a porn site. The case on the World Intellectual Property Organization website has been terminated, and the domain is currently listed as owned by Riot Games, the company behind the popular MOBA game of the same name.
Those looking for illicit material on a League of Legends-related website will presumably have to go elsewhere. Like, for example, LeagueOfLegendsPorn.com, which is another (currently empty) domain that Riot has another standing complaint against. Because Riot does own the “League of Legends” trademark, that case will probably see a similar result soon. And now that Riot has secured the URLs we know about, are they going to tell us what Supremacy is anytime soon?

Microsoft was likely most interested in regaining these just to protect its own IPs – and the immediate use of things like xboxlivetv.com and xboxphone.com seem apparent.
It’s tempting to suspect Microsoft is eyeing “Xbox 8″ as the next console name due to the two domains that reference it; however, Microsoft already began integrating Xbox Live, and the “Xbox” name, into all its consumer products, including Windows 8. Also, it would be really weird if a domain squatter guessed the name.
