In other words, Jade Empire's bad ending.Game: Jade Empire.
The version of Jade Empire 2 supposed to be set in the far future would be based on the option for players to sacrifice themselves to allow Wu the Lotus Blossom to reign over the Jade Empire. One big detail that Jade Empire fans will appreciate confirmation of is the ending BioWare would branch off from for its sequel. Darrah says that this concept would ultimately be shifted into a different game named Revolver, which was also canceled. Players would play the role of an investigator from a "crisis response unit" looking into the use of magic. Further, the world would have had magic "suppressed" for hundreds of years. In doing so, BioWare reworked Jade Empire 2 into a modern game.Īs for what modern game means, Darrah explained the setting would still feature Jade Empire's universe, but far in the setting's future. BioWare shifted to the Unreal Engine for development due to the needs of Mass Effect. However, BioWare made a big change at the studio that forced the team to rework the game. Darrah explains that Jade Empire 2 would be set some decades after the first time to allow the world's plot to move forward to state for an epic new story. Originally, Jade Empire 2 was intended to be a direct sequel to the first game. Darrah says that Jade Empire was ultimately canceled so BioWare could focus on the development of Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins instead. In a recent video on Darrah's Youtube channel, he talks about the canceled sequel Jade Empire 2, which started development after the original game's release.
He left the studio in 2020 and has shared a variety of details about his time at BioWare since. Mark Darrah worked with BioWare for 23 years, initially as a programmer on early action-RPGs including Jade Empire. An ex-BioWare director and executive producer is sharing new details about a Jade Empiresequel that never came to be.
