NOVA II: New Dawn is a limit-removing megawad released in 2015. It is the sequel to 2014's NOVA: The Birth, and follows the same concept of being predominantly made by Doomworld users who were newer and/or inexperienced with mapping.

The project was started on 14 June, 2014, by Michael Kilderry (kildeth), who founded and led the first NOVA through most of its development. Kilderry later stepped down and development was taken over by Darryl Steffen (dobu gabu maru).

Completed in late November 2015, the WAD was uploaded to the idgames archive, though due to some major bugs found after the release, the WAD was patched and re-uploaded twice. The final version (1.2) was uploaded to the archives on March 27, 2016.
