《Killer Instinct 2》是一款於一九九六年發行的街機格鬥遊戲,故事承接前作,因意外引發時空扭曲,將部分鬥士傳送至兩千年前,同時釋放了惡魔領主Gargos。玩家將操作倖存者與新加入的古代角色,為確保未來而戰,而非爭奪獎金。核心玩法著重於快速的一對一戰鬥,強調角色獨特的必殺技與流暢的連擊系統,其獨特之處在於將衝突設定為一場攸關時間線存亡的史詩級對決。

Rare was a prominent second-party developer for Nintendo, and produced the Killer Instinct series exclusively for the company as their response to Mortal Kombat. Following the success of the 1995 Killer Instinct port for the Super Nintendo home console, Rare began a sequel for the same console. They transitioned development to the Nintendo 64 upon its announcement. Gold was scheduled as a launch title for the new console but was delayed until its North American release in November 1996. It received a wider release in May 1997. It was also included in Rare's 2015 Xbox One retrospective compilation, Rare Replay.
