Unconfirmed: Jade Empire 2 in Development

While kind of a basement bargain rumor, the editors at Mercury News claim to have seen actual code that confirms a Jade Empire sequel is in development. With the purchase of BioWare by EA, everyone was pretty much predicting every existing franchise to be pimped out as much as possible, so it wouldn't be all that surprising.
But I talked with someone who saw code for Jade Empire 2. It's coming for the Xbox 360, and it's real. It's not much as far as scoops go, but I'm on vacation. What do you expect? Happy New Year.Jade Empire was BioWare's second big game for the Xbox, following the exclusive Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic title in 2003. 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.
