January 2, 2008 - While most of us were gorging ourselves on holiday meals and napping away our vacations, news of Jade Empire 2 leaked to the net via The Mercury News. Dean Takahashi published an article stating that he spoke with someone who saw code for Jade Empire 2. "It's coming for the Xbox 360, and it's real," claims Mr. Takahashi. Rumors of the title have been floating around for years, but it is interesting to hear that the code exists for Xbox 360.

Whether the Jade Empire franchise will stay a PC/Xbox 360 exclusive or not remains to be seen. According to Microsoft the franchise is owned by BioWare, a company that was recently purchased by EA. It's no secret that EA prefers to publish its games for as many platforms as possible, putting any thoughts of exclusivity in limbo.

Microsoft, as usual, did not comment on the rumor. When we contacted EA, we were forwarded on to BioWare as the PR is still being handled separately. Representatives for BioWare could not be reached at this time, giving us a trio of no confirmation.

Thankfully, IGN's own David Clayman was willing to go on record with this statement, "There is no truth to the rumor that I have already awarded this game a perfect ten in the IGN databases. As far as we know the title may not even exist. However, if the game does come to fruition I will not dismiss the possibility that it will deserve a score of ten or higher."

We'll have more on Jade Empire 2 as it comes in.

Well, someone has apparently seen code for Jade Empire 2. BioWare wasn't able to be reached to comment on the situation, but I just can't help but be pretty suspicious about this one. BioWare is currently making Dragon Age, Mass Effect 2, their MMO, and the Sonic RPG. I just don't think they have the manpower to start developing another game, in addition to the four they're already making. However, on their website, they do have an unamed "New Next Gen Game" listed on their website, but I personally would much rather see that turn out to be Kotor 3, rather than Jade Empire 2.

I will, none the less, eagerly await Jade Empire 2, if it is truly in development. :)
 
Noo, the files for the code of Bioshock was named with 'PS3' in it.

BioWare confirmed that Jade Empire 2 is in development for Xbox 360, but it is uncertain whether the game remains Xbox 360 exclusive, the decision has yet been made by Electronic Arts.

Do you have a link to this, because I can't find a thread on it on the "BioWare News" section of their forums, and considering this is pretty big news, I can't see why it wouldn't be there.
