Many gamers have clamoured for a sequel over the years, and BioWare have attempted to make a new Jade Empire game before, with a small team reportedly working on ways to improve the combat and discover a new direction in which to take the proposed sequel. Unfortunately, that particular project was eventually shut down to better focus resources on the games that would eventually become the Dragon Age and Mass Effect franchises.
BioWare GM Aaryn Flynn had this to say to Game Informer about a possible Jade Empire sequel:
There are remarkably few games utilising the kind of flowing and graceful martial arts combat that Jade Empire employed, and the game’s setting was filled with vastly interesting characters and concepts. It’s a world that begs to be reopened to explore again.
