does anyone know when warriors orochi 2 is released??

The Japanese release date is the only confirmed date. it is to be released in April of this year in Japan. It is most likely to be April 3rd, though other sites do say the 27th.
Release dates for Europe,America etc are yet to be confirmed.

Musou OROCHI - Rebirth of the Demon Lord
Release Date: (JP) April 3rd 2008
Official Site: JAPANESE
Player(s): Two Players
Platform(s): PlayStation 2

We do have a theory though. Since its going to come out in April, for Japan, we expect it to come out in September or November, for America And Europe.

Going by the pattern of release Koei usually use, thats really accurate. But the only date i know for sure is Japan. it would be pretty great if they were to release it Europe and NA even earlier than that, but sadly i doubt it.

Gamefly has it up as 9/30/2008. No idea where they got the date or if it's accurate, but they DID have the date for WO PSP long before anyone else did and before it was confirmed to be coming out here. The date sounds plausable too. One theory I have is that it may be released earlier because KOEI NA has less on their plate than they did a year ago. Games like Bladestorm, DW: Gundam, DW6 and SW2:XL were all big at the time when WO was developed.

Well, looking at the pattern Koei have used when releasing games in the past, that seems pretty accurate, most people thought around then, so the date may well be fact. Still so long to wait

And I know jack about it. Am I the only one that didn't look at the new stuff, besides new characters and the opening?

TT_TT sadly that's not true Spawn... you have a strange individual here who's in the same situation.

Boooot!!! I don't know if I can stand the temptation

KOEI! Please give me something else in the mean time...
Dynasty Warriors 6 and a PS 3 maybe

I'm intrigued by Dw6. I think to make up for the WO2 wait, Koei should give us all a free ps3! We'll be nice and pay for DW6 ourselves
I agree that they may make the release date around the Christmas period, there's always more profit then. Of course a long build up is good for them too, we all know a lot of the information now and want to know more= they shift more copies.
It's going to be at least 6 months of waiting and wondering though.
