Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2

Shin Hokuto Musou (真・北斗無双) is the sequel to Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage. It was first announced at E3 2012 as the surprise mystery title. Its tentative English title is Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2.

The producer said this title adds more volume to the original concept. He believes that fans will appreciate the memorable reenactments of their favorite scenes, even striving to make several characters as faithful to the original source as possible. Everything is being revised from the first title to provide a "Warriors-like experience". Since he feels that this game is an in depth re-imagining of the original which better corresponds with fans' requests, he insisted on adding the "True" (真, shin) to the front of its name rather giving it a numerical.

Due to budgeting issues, this game is limited to Japanese voice overs for overseas ports.

Gameplay

 * The Legend Mode will include events from both arcs of the main series. The first story arc will include more content. Scenarios outside of the original canon to better explain Hokuto Shinken's roots will be included for players to enjoy.
 * Dream Mode will return with different scenarios for the returning cast. Hypothetical stories for characters who don't have much screentime are loosely based on events which happen within the original canon before diverging.
 * Unlike the first game, mobs will now spawn at a rate resembling other Warriors titles.
 * Character fighting styles (Hokuto, Nanto, and Special) remain but are more varied with the cast.
 * When boss characters are defeated, a comic panel will be used to frame the finale.
 * Evasion has changed to be a shorter animation of the character slightly shifting their body away from an enemy attack.
 * It's possible to cancel into a sprint after attacks.
 * Details of the game's downloadable content has yet to be confirmed, but it will include different items than the original game. Comic faithful costumes can be unlocked in-game.
