KOEI has announced that Warriors Orochi 2 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 2 has reached gold status. The game will be available at retailers on September 19, 2008.

Shattering time and space, the venomous Serpent King Orochi kidnapped the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors in scheme to test his might. The heroes eventually defeated Orochi and his menacing army. While the slain Orochi lies in the netherworld, a mysterious alliance is hatching an otherworldly plan so that the Serpent King may rise again. Now a new group of fighters must join forces with history's greatest warriors in an effort to stop this evil resurrection.

Warriors Orochi 2 takes place after the events of the original game. The game's main story mode features storylines for the kingdoms of Wu, Wei, and Shu, and the Samurai Warriors, while a new Orochi storyline looks back to the first series of wars to expose some of the Serpent King's secrets.

The game's newly added Dream mode will also feature an original storyline different from that of Story Mode.

Warriors Orochi 2 will feature a massive lineup of over 90 playable characters from both franchises including Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends, plus new characters from Chinese and Japanese history.
