BioWare Bringing Back Jade Empire?

Today, BioWare and EA2D announced beta access for a Dragon Age II Facebook tie-in called Dragon Age Legends. Those players that successfully sign-up for closed beta access to Dragon Age Legends are rewarded with Jade Empire-inspired Death's Hand Armor.

This has us wondering: Is BioWare intending on re-releasing an HD port of Jade Empire? Is the Jade Empire franchise finally getting a sequel?

At the very least, BioWare seems to be prepping gamers by reintroducing us to the beloved RPG that made its debut in 2005 on the Xbox and was later ported to PC. Considering Microsoft Game Studios was the publisher the first time around, an HD port of Jade Empire would only make its way to Xbox 360 and PC. As such, it seems more likely that a new entry for the franchise is on the horizon.

We have asked these questions to both EA and BioWare and will let you now if we get official confirmation. Below we've included three screens from Dragon Age Legends depicting the three different styles of Death's Hand Armor for rogues, mages, and warriors.
