Comment on Has there ever been a game whose name was intentionally suffixed with "2" despite no original game? lol

    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

    I thought Episode IV was in the initial crawl text.

  Right, but I mean something that literally never had any prequels afterward to close the gap. There have been some great examples here, though!
