Has there ever been a game whose name was intentionally suffixed with "2" despite no original game? lol (lemmy.zip)

I just thought it'd be hilarious if a dev named their game, like, "Warhound 2" or something when there was never an original "Warhound" lol (and like, do so seriously, not just as a parody or joke, at least primarily so).

Not a game, but Star Wars infamously opened with Episode IV.

    Star Wars became Episode IV in 1980, when its sequel, The Empire Strikes Back, began with the title card "Episode V". However, the 1977 original did not officially have the "Episode IV: A New Hope" subtitle added to its opening crawl until its theatrical re-release on April 10, 1981.

    You could say Star Wars 2 was released as "Star Wars 5" I suppose
