Released for Xbox back in 2005, BioWare's action/RPG Jade Empire garnered quite a few positive reviews for its wuxia setting, plentiful dialogue and interesting NPCs. But after a decent port to PC, BioWare remained silent on a sequel.
I have good news though, Mercury News' Dean Takahashi claims he talked to someone who saw code for Jade Empire 2 and the sequel is certainly on the horizon for the Xbox 360.
Now that EA is all set to acquire BioWare, it'll be interesting to see if Jade Empire 2 will remain an Xbox 360 exclusive game. What I want to know is how long it'll take for the PC port, because I don't want to wait an additional two years for it.
Not really a surprise they're making a sequel to this game however they already have one development team doing Dragon Age and another working on an unannounced MMO project in collaboration with LucasArts so... I'm not holding my breath for Jade Empire 2.
Let's not forget the untitled Sonic RPG for the DS too...and of course any unannounced titles too.
