Whilst most of the recent BioWare rumour-mongering has revolved around the possibility of
to the successful Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic series, the latest speculation claims that the
developer is already hard at work on Jade Empire 2.

As well as offering a lush Eastern fantasy world, it also boasted a number of different martial art style that players could learn and use in combat.
The Mercury News’ Dean Takahashi claims that: I talked with someone who saw code for Jade Empire 2. It’s coming for the Xbox 360, and it’s real.
"It will be interesting to see if Jade Empire 2 will remain an exclusive for the Xbox 360, now that Electronic Arts has agreed to acquire BioWare/Pandemic. And we all know how EA loves to do cross-platform games to maximize profits from a single property.”
