Jade Empire: Special Edition has finally gone gold and will be hitting the stores of North America on February 27.Europe's launch will be on March 2. Jade Empire: Special Edition has at least two features to be proud of and those are PC optimized graphics and controls. Players choose to act as a noble hero or treacherous villain by following the path of the "Open Palm" or the "Closed Fist" in the mystical world of Jade Empire.

Also, they will face powerful human and supernatural foes, learn magical martial arts and weapon styles, and discover the darkest secrets of the world. Jade Empire: Special Edition engages users with its rich story line and optimizes the gaming experience for PC gamers with an extra difficulty level and upgraded visuals. Also, the PC version features an exclusive art book and poster, but that's just for filling up empty space 'cause I really can't see the reason for it when the game is already filled with neat stuff, it's not a handheld title after all.

Ray Muzyka, Chief Executive Officer, BioWare Corp said: "We are delighted that our partnership with 2K has allowed us to bring Jade Empire: Special Edition to the PC, where fans can explore the beautiful, lush world in higher resolution than ever before. Throughout the epic storyline, players can interact with more amazing creatures and characters, and enjoy the challenge of combat through the all-new Jade Master difficulty level and improved enemy AI!"

The Xbox version was rated 9.9 out of 10 on IGN, winning IGN's Xbox Game of the Year and Xbox RPG of the Year. For more information, visit the Jade Empire official website.
