Evolution 2: Far Off Promise (神機世界エヴォリューション2 遠い約束, Shinkisekai Evoryūshon 2 Tōi Yakusoku) is a role-playing video game for the Dreamcast console. It is a sequel to Evolution: The World of Sacred Device. It was developed by Sting and published by Ubisoft in North America. In Japan it was published by ESP.
Evolution 2: Far Off Promise was also released for the European market in 2001 as one of the last European Dreamcast games. In the UK the game was exclusive to the video game chain Game.[citation needed]
Like the first Evolution game, Evolution 2 is a dungeon crawler. Unlike the first, Evolution 2 has both random and predetermined dungeon maps.
This game and Evolution: The World of the Sacred Device were remade into Evolution Worlds on the Nintendo GameCube.
