KOEI has confirmed that Warriors Orochi 2, for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 2, has gone gold. The game will be available at North American shops beginning the week of September 23rd, 2008.

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 features an original storyline different from that of Story Mode and a new two-player “Versus” mode comes action-packed with four different games including “Tag Team” matches that pit individual fighters in lethal head-to-head combat.
