Samurai Warriors 2 (戦国無双2, Sengoku Musou 2) is the sequel to Samurai Warriors. The focus of this title goes beyond Nobunaga's reign and introduces Sekigahara. To contrast the darker colors planned for the original, the visual planner for this game wanted to make "a gold image" for the setting and characters. Most of the background tracks exclusive to this game were composed by Minoru Mukaiya.

The title's Story Mode follows the stories of various characters, primarily focusing on Sekigahara and its battles. Many stages and missions are shared between stories, with some characters having unique, character-specific missions.

The starting cast is seven characters, with the rest being unlocked by completing other story modes, generally by characters affiliated with the unlocked character. Each character has a 4th weapon to unlock and Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends adds 5th weapons as well. These weapons can only be unlocked on hard or chaos difficulty.

Survival Mode from the original Samurai Warriors returns in this mode but offers four random missions to choose from, some you must pay, some you do not. To unlock Ranmaru, certain missions must be accepted and completed in this mode.
