Kidou Senshi Gundam Seed Destiny: Rengou vs. Z.A.F.T. II (with "Rengou" meaning "Alliance") is a third-person arcade game developed by Capcom and published by Namco Bandai Games. It is the sequel to Gundam Seed: Rengou vs. Z.A.F.T., featuring a slightly revised fighting system, new units and characters, as well as updates to old characters.

Playable characters and units are drawn from both Gundam SEED and its sequel Gundam SEED Destiny. While the console version of its predecessor included only a few units and playable characters from the early part of Gundam SEED Destiny (such as the Impulse Gundam), RvZ2 expands to include characters and units from the entire series, like the Strike Freedom Gundam and the Infinite Justice Gundam.

On December 7, 2006, a console version of the game was released by Namco Bandai Games for the PlayStation 2 in Japan. For this console release, a P.L.U.S. Mode was added. In this mode, the player, as Shinn Asuka, undertakes missions based on the events of Gundam SEED Destiny. Throughout P.L.U.S. Mode, the player's actions affect their relationships with computer-controlled characters. A positive relationship with a character will lead them to assist the player in battle and unlock new movie sequences. However, befriending certain characters may cause others to avoid the player, depending on their choice of allies.

New units and Arcade Mode routes are also available, notably including those from the spin-off series Gundam SEED Stargazer.
