In 2000, a sequel to Fighters Destiny, titled Fighter Destiny 2, was released. Publisher SouthPeak Interactive dropped the s in the title due to copyright issues. Fighter Destiny 2 made improvements upon its predecessor, boosting the FPS to 60, and adding graphic and audio enhancements. Some of the characters make a second appearance in the sequel, but the majority of the cast is all new. Although the game mechanics remain unchanged, a new "Fighter's Arena" mode has been added, a giant board game that allows players to build up their characters' attributes in addition to having them learn new fighting skills. The character Ryuji, from the first game, seems to have been renamed Saeki for unknown reasons.
There are twelve default characters in Fighter Destiny 2. Ryuji makes a return as "Saeki"; Adrianna, a flamenco dancer from Brazil; Federico, a scientist from Italy; American street warrior D-Dog, who very much resembles Dennis Rodman; Fashion Model Kate from Great Britain; German professional wrestler Zeige; British Punk Rocker Dixon; and Prince Fabien from France debut. Abdul, Meiling and Ninja make another appearance. Pierre makes another appearance as well, but is now more flamboyant than previously.
Like in the first series, there are secret characters and in order to unlock these characters, you must beat four different game modes, along with picking a certain character.; Play as Adrianna and beat Rodeo to Unlock Mou (Ushi from the first game, but billed from Hong Kong), play as Ninja and beat Time Attack to unlock Samurai (Robert from the first game), and play as Saeki and beat Fighter Arena mode to Unlock the Master who once again makes an appearance.
Joker, an infamous player from the first game, does not make an appearance. However, a completely different character named Cherry, a crossdressing man from the U.S.A., replaces him. In order to unlock Cherry, you must play as Pierre and beat Survival Mode. In the North American release, Cherry's voice actor is changed to female for appropriateness however, nothing on his body is changed such as his muscles, his tattoes, and his face, which all resemble a male.
On release, Famitsu magazine scored Fighter Destiny 2 a 30 out of 40.
