Let's hope they do, game is amazing and would love to see it get some more notice. Hopefully they improve the combat and styles :)
I love Bioware, but...
Jade Empire was my least favorite of their games. It was good - but not Bioware good, if that makes any sense at all.
Please do post anything else you hear about it, though - I would be interested in playing some more. I feel if they had more time to flesh it out, it could have been fantastic.

ooooh, I was planning on buying this game in the very near future. Now I have all the more reason :D
I recall seeing a gameplay vid of a fight in Jade Empire years ago when I was considering playing it.
All I remember is being driven nuts by the characters constantly shouting the names of their moves.

I like the concept of Jade Empire more than I like the execution. Hopeful for an improved sequel though.
Around 5% of my brain is melancholic about the prospect of getting another sequel from Bioware rather than a new franchise, but the other 95% is too busy wetting itself in unbridled joy over the thought of getting a follow up in the Jade Empire universe to care. Sure, new franchises are fun, but that game world was so stunningly well-crafted, and I believe there's so much potential left within the mythology they created for Jade Empire that it only makes sense to revisit it. In short, three appendages WAY UP in support of this.
I saw that Jade Empire is available on XBLA but it's just a port of the Xbox version. Considered buying it but I would love an HD remake (doubt that will happen, though).
Pleeeease make this. The first one was my favorite game of last generation. Pleeease make this happen!
Whatever brings in more Asians in gaming.
Even if it supports that "all Asians know martial arts" image.

One of my personal favorite Bioware games. Ive never really been into mythical China, but I really loved the setting for Jade Empire.
Jade Empire is not as good as most of you guys remember. I think the graphics made the game better at the time as it actually was.
Played the superior PC-Version some years ago, and even with the tweaks over the console Version, it was not able to grab me like a KOTOR for example. Maybe the god awfull setting just puts me off.

It should be the tale of the Black Whirlwind. Or Kang the Mad. Or both.
Such a good game, much better than KOTOR. Great story, some cracking characters, some amazing visuals and the best side quests ofthe xbox 1 gen.

I've got a copy of jade empire, but its unopened... its the one and only bioware-console game I have yet 2 play.... loved kotor and dragon age, but 4 some reason, I've never had much desire 2 play jade empire.... maybe now is the time.
Other than a Forza rental when It releases,I really have no need to keep my 360,BUT...This would be the one game that would keep me from selling it. (If it's still exclusive)
Officially announce It Bioware!!!!
Or KOTOR..

A new Jade Empire would be fantastic, would love to see a new game in that franchise, especially since the Dragon Age franchise isn't quite going the way I had hoped. The setting for Jade Empire is very interesting, a bit like Legend of the Five Rings, which is definitely something I approve of heartily.
Never really understand the love for 'Jade Empire'. Kind of a clunker from Bioware; huge review $cores from the big sites that were sheepishly walked back.
Repetitive gameplay with superficial skill trees, visuals that took their cue from garish Chinese restaurant murals. In terms of development it was very easy to see it was rushed, levels became drastically shorter and linear as the game went on.
Certainly not the worst game of the year, but nowhere near Bioware's usual effort. Caught a lot of fan criticism at the time, yet over the last year or so the title keeps popping up like it was a hidden gem.

I would be extremely shocked if they made another Jade Empire. They're moving more and more towards the shooter crowd, and they've said repeatedly that they want their games to sell 10 million copies. I would give up on Jade Empire 2. The writing is on the wall if you just pay attention to their interviews, in my opinion.
I'm not going to get all giddy about the possibility, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye out. Jade Empire was a great game.
This news makes my century. Truth be told, Jade Empire is the only BioWare game I really got into, and a sequel would be a must-buy.
@Fossegrim: while I respect your opinion, the first (and last, sadly) time I played Jade Empire was a year or two ago, and it was the 'inferior' XBox version. Different strokes for different folks, man.

Glad to hear that. I'll be one of the first people in line if they make a new one.
Hell I'd also like to see an HD repack of it and kotor on the vita or something.

It sold well, and if they made another one it would also sell well. If they were going to develop another JE game then EA would make sure to put enough marketing out there to sell however many copies they need. That with having all of the background lore and setting already done(cuts down on development time) would probably make it a fairly attractive franchise to continue. Though Im still holding out hope for a DA3 that goes back to be more like DA1 than DA2, because Im not going to completely write off Bioware just because of one game.
And as someone who plays shooters and RPGs, I definitely would not classify a game like ME2 as an FPS. More action than RPG yes, but not a shooter.
