About WARRIORS OROCHI 2 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

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.
