Reader Discussion – Would You Play A Jade Empire Sequel?
Mass Effect Andromeda is the big news today. However, let's talk about another Bioware game, yeah? Fellow editor Matt Bertz recently compiled an oral history of the company (which you can read the full version of in our latest issue) and one of the biggest stories to emerge from that was Bioware's attempts to make a sequel to Jade Empire. The developer canned the project to focus on what would eventually become Dragon Age and Mass Effect.
However, BioWare creative director Mike Laidlaw said that "Jade as a sequel is never dead," which means that the studio isn't opposed to creating a sequel. One day. Maybe.
The question then is would you play it? I know I would. Jade Empire is without a doubt the funkiest, and strangest of Bioware's entire catalog. However, it's also one of the most creative titles in a line of rich games. I'd love to see a sequel in the Frostbite engine.
