Rumor: BioWare working on Jade Empire 2

by Dustin Burg { Dec 31st 2007 at 10:00AM }

Dean Takahashi over at The Mercury News is reporting that he spoke with someone who saw actual development code and that BioWare is indeed working on Jade Empire 2. Shock, gasp and awe! Takahashi is nearly positive that a sequel to the 2005 release of Jade Empire is in the works and is currently set to be released as an Xbox 360 exclusive. Though, he mentions that it is entirely possible that the Empire will make its way to the PS3 seeing that EA has complete control of the BioWare reins now.

Here's to hoping this rumor turns out materializing as we (and nearly everyone else) wouldn't mind seeing a Jade Empire sequel. Keep bringing the RPG goods BioWare.

bioware must be the god of rpgs and im not complaining there needs to be more good rpgs then the final fantasy crap, im not a fan of

can someone tell me what the first one was about and was it a great rpg?

Microsoft should have just bought them...stupid EA.

I totally agree. I was so pissed when I heard EA bought Bioware. MS needs to secure a quality RPG developer. Maybe they can buy Bethesda.

Finally! I was getting tired of playing the first and Mass Effect. BioWare RPGs are the only ones I like.

Dump the spammer.

What a coincidence. I re-bought Jade Empire for $5 for the 360 (backwards compatible). It looks so amazing - it IS a late cycle Xbox game (released in 2005).

I heart BioWare I have to go pick up the first jade empire now

Blasphemy!

We Need Knights of the Old Republic 3!!

Mass Effect Two!

Jade Empire should be after that... Never played original D:

I doubt it will be Rated M, and a 360 Exclusive because of Fucking EA

The concept of Jade Empire is wonderful! I think it is my favorite Bioware game because I love the eastern mythos. Please make JE2 even better and please Bioware, the one thing your games have been lacking lately is length!! Please make a game that I can play for 50-60 hours before beating it!

A much as I'd rather see a new Knights of the Old Republic game ( and I'd rather it not be a MMORPG) Jade Empire was a fine game and a sequel could be even better. Hopefully it's development won't take away time spent on Mass Effect 2 or Kotor 3 (or that mysterious MMORPG)
