GameBanshee discovered the LinkedIn profile of a former BioWare designer Rafael Jabulani Brown, and apparently he had worked on Jade Empire 2 at some point between April 2006 and April 2007. The original newsbit can be read here.

IIRC (but I can't remember from where) JE2 was cancelled before EA sucked in Bioware.

More on this... Eurogamer has posted some snippets from the Bio docs where they have hinted at the possibility of another JE game:

'Eurogamer' said:

Jade Empire may return - BioWare is "just looking for the right way to deploy it".

That's what BioWare co-founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk told a packed audience at the Eurogamer Expo 2011 today.

"We've been talking a lot about that actually on and off over the years," said Ray Muzyka, BioWare CEO.

"We're just looking for the right way to deploy it."

"We have a lot of different projects now on a lot of different platforms, and you might see some of that [Jade Empire] in the future. You never know.

"We don't have anything to announce on it right now," Muzyka added, "but it is a franchise that's near and dear to us."
