December 29th, 2007 -- Dean Takahashi of the San Jose Mercury News talked with someone who saw code for Jade Empire 2. It's coming for the Xbox 360, and it's real.
On this week's episode of The 1099 Podcast, the creative director of Dragon Age, Mike Laidlaw, joins host Josiah Renaudin to discuss how the team at BioWare creates such massive open worlds. Mike explains the different roles he's played at BioWare, the struggles of even starting a five-year AAA project, what a linear Dragon Age (similar to Uncharted) would look like, how he deals with Dragon Age reviews, and the possibility of a Jade Empire 2.
Microsoft needs to lock up at the very least timed exclusivity for Jade Empire 2 if its something Bioware is interested in.
Jade empire 2 would be awesome news. I don't have much faith in it happening though.
I would love a new KOTOR and a new Jade Empire, but the last two Bioware games have left me unimpressed due to how great the games were that came before. Bioware is off my must buy list, currently on the wait for a discount list.
For years, there has been a demand for a sequel, but nothing has ever materialized. Now there may be a glimmer of hope for a second game in the future.
I don't know what I want. I love JE and love that feudal Japan setting.
Just give me more of what made it great.
A new JE2 , plus a remastered JE so to rekindle the story for those that played the original and to attract new players. Last thing hopefully their Xbox one , PC exclusive.
I want the character I choose to impact the game more than who flirts with me. Make the story actually be different for each to more of a degree.
Heck yeah game was great. Just needed to be bigger. I'd like another Star Wars RPG too.
Jade Empire is such a beautiful game, and OMG the music.

BioWare's forgotten RPG, Jade Empire, was a blast. And for this writer, it was also memorable. So why didn't we get Jade Empire 2?
I enjoyed the first Jade Empire. I liked KOTOR more but Jade Empire was definately a unique concept and had a pretty good combat system. The graphics(for the time) were really detailed also.
For anyone who has never played it this is a pretty cool video from Gametrailers.

I liked it, but I always felt it was missing something. I cant put my finger on what, maybe it was just too linear but it just felt like they missed on that one. I hope they correct whatever that "something" is for Jade Empire II.
bring it on bioware
"The possibilities for the sequel are very interesting given where BioWare took the conversation and RPG system with Mass Effect. Would this be the Xbox 360’s answer to Heavenly Sword on the PlayStation 3? Probably not, given it is an RPG and not a fighting game first."
I love how articles always conclude to stupid crap like game x is answer to game Y. Heavenly Sword is nothing special............ i swear he acts like he doesn't play games.
He comparing Jade Empire to heavenly sword and halo 3 to mass effect.
LOL"
Man thats a nice suprise :) Bioware = The Blueprint of making awsome games!
was nowhere near KOTOR's awesomeness, but it was good. It was good as in 8/10 good. Not great. Just good. So high hopes for Jade Empire 2.
