E3: Jade Cocoon 2 all-but-confirmed

[05.16.99] » "Wink, wink; nudge, nudge," hints Crave.

   Crave is set to bring the critically acclaimed Jade Cocoon to the U.S.this July, but a sequel is already in the works. Several of Crave's employees giddily told the GIA that a Jade Cocoon 2 is in the early planning stages. The title will be jointly funded by publisher Crave and developer Genki as part of their new joint partnership. Acclaimed anime producer (and Jade Cocoon's character and world designer for Jade Cocoon) Katsuyah Kondoh is also definitely returning. While no story or platform details were revealed, it's excellent to hear that the beautiful world of Jade Cocoon won't be a one-shot affair.
