Sengoku Musou Chronicle 2nd

Sengoku Musou Chronicle 2nd (戦国無双 Chronicle 2nd) is the revamp of Samurai Warriors Chronicles. According to the initial news report, it is being made to answer the positive fan responses of the original title and is being revised to accommodate their requests. There are currently no plans to localize it in North America.

The producer says this title is not a completely new title; the main scenario, particular stages, and character movesets remain relatively unchanged. It is targeted towards consumers who may have played or interested fans who have not yet played Samurai Warriors Chronicles.

Consumers who pre-order the title can receive a downloadable serial code of military themed clothing for their protagonists. Early buyers can obtain another downloadable serial code. Gamecity Shopping is also offering a special postcard signed by the voice actors appearing in Sengoku Musou Seiyuu Ougi 2012 Aki.

Stories for the new characters and their relations with the playable cast will also be included into the game. New events for the returning cast will be included.
