Rumor: Jade Empire & Conker Next Up

February 5th, 2008 by Brian Lockhart in News, Rumor, Software, Xbox360

Press materials for two of Microsoft’s past projects, both Jade Empire and Conker: Live & Reloaded, have recently been updated, and that has led many to believe that the games in question will be the next titles to be added to the Xbox Originals. It seems like a pretty solid rumor to me, seeing as both titles have long been backwards compatible, and there would be little reason for the update. They also are two very strong titles, and seem very likely to be released on the originals channel, if not now, then sometime in the future.

However, the one catch to the rumor is that press materials for both Kameo and Perfect Dark: Zero (both 360 titles) were also updated on the same day. Both being Rare titles alongside Conker, it may very well just be an overlooked coincidence. Hard to say for sure, but if Microsoft at least keeps a somewhat steady stream, it is hard to imagine these two titles not making the service eventually.
