I'm thinking Jade Empire 2, because I believe they might want to take a step back from their current franchises.
Nope. Not happening. Bioware scrapped Jade Empire 2 years ago. At least if some of their past employees are to be believed.

Basically we can deduce that Jade Empire 2 WAS in development. The last thing the higher ups said about it was, "It's an IP, it's a setting that we're really passionate about, and we still are. Both Greg and I were big believers in the IP... We're just looking for the right way to deploy it." That was in 2011 almost a full year ago. I'm guessing that EA doesn't want them to really focus on it seeing as how it's one of their lower rated franchises with lower sales figures. It sold pretty good and is rated pretty good, but when compared to Bioware's other IP's it pales in comparison. Don't get me wrong, Jade Empire is probably my favorite Bioware game, but I don't think we will be hearing much about it anytime soon. If people were working on a sequel back in 2007 as the ex-employee states then that means it has been 5 years. That's stretching the limits of reasonable development times. EA probably just doesn't see it as a viable franchise when they can instead be making more Mass Effects, Dragon Ages, Star Wars games and reviving famous dead franchises.
As for what they are working on. We KNOW what they are working on. This isn't a mystery. They have announced that they are working on Dragon Age 3, Command and Conquer: Generals 2 and Ultima Forever. They will also have a team constantly working and updating SWTOR.
