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 there’s an Spanish movie called “Vivancos 3: if you like it we’ll do the first two”. It was a flop so…

    I mean, team fortress two was the first game in the series. Team fortress “1” having been a mod for a different game.

    Does BattleBit Remastered count? There was never a released game called BattleBit, and it was named that as a joke by the devs, because of how many times they had to redo things.

    Breath of Death VII does not have any prequels.
    Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen was subtitled part 5, as Ogre Battle was intended to be a 7 part series, but only 4 games got released.

    Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3. There is no 1 or 2. However, it only exists as a virtual arcade cabinet in DOOM 3.

    Edit: Apparently you can also find it as a secret in DOOM (2016).

    Dune 2 came out shortly after a completely unrelated Dune game by a different studio, with the 2 added just so people could distinguish them.

    Episode 63 of Welcome to Nightvale is called There Is No Part 1: Part 2.
    It’s a podcast, but it does fit your requirement more precisely than perhaps any videogame.

      Al Lowe had originally planned to make part 4 as a massive multiplayer online game, but there were too many technical complications. Additionally, Al had writers block. So he skipped to part 5 saying it additionally afforded him a new start to get out from his writers block. He was supposed to get back to it one day, but never did.

      I own all of the others. Part 3 (Passionate Patti In Pursuit Of The Pulsating Pectorals) is the best and the original Part 1 is runner up. All I ever wanted was a Part 4 though.

      It’s Al’s 80th birthday in 13 days (July 24, 1946). Maybe he’ll get us something

    There was an old Flash game called Pandemic 2. Iirc, there wasn’t a Pandemic 1, which struck me as odd.
