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 the movie 'Troll 2', the worst rated movie on IMDB, was named such without an original with the hopes to give it more "legitimacy"

    Although the movie was titled "Troll 2" to capitalize on the minor success of Troll (1986), it has no connection to the plot or production of the earlier film.

    Seems like one of those situations where they shoehorned their script into an existing franchise. They did that a lot with horror movies.
