Claims that code for Xbox 360 version of BioWare’s RPG is already up and running
Whilst most of the recent BioWare rumour-mongering has revolved around the possibility of another instalment to the successful Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic series, the latest speculation claims that the EA-owned developer is already hard at work on Jade Empire 2.
The original Jade Empire was released on Xbox in 2005, and whilst its critical reception was mixed, it secured a loyal following amongst RPG and BioWare fans. 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.”

Emmm
I think it would be awesome to have a Jade Empire 2, I really enjoyed the first one, funny enough Bioware's Xbox 1 RPG's were a lot longer and more in depth than Mass Effect so I hope Jade Empire 2 is as good as the original or even better.
I guess we will have to wait and see 1) if this rumour is true and 2) Will it be a 360 only title.

"... the latest speculation claims that the EA-owned developer is already hard at work on Jade Empire 2."
BioWare would more accurately be described as "not-quite-yet-owned by EA" since the acquisition has not yet closed. But anyway, here's hoping that this report about Jade Empire 2 turns out to be real!
