After news of BioWare's closure and the cancellation of Mass Effect 5 broke on Wednesday, an employee leaked a trailer, made by a small team with pre-production assets.
It features a new N7 protagonist and fan-favourite Liara T'Soni, set sometime after the original Mass Effect trilogy. Are they searching for Commander Shepard? The trailer ends on the game's title: Mass Effect: Universe.
Bloomberg's Jason Schreier confirmed the trailer is genuine. I watched it on YouTube, and the game is evidently further developed than officially suggested; after all, it was announced in 2020. As the trailer keeps getting removed, I won't link to it here. You should find it easily with a quick search.
As I've mentioned previously, Mass Effect 5 could still be saved with stewardship from a developer that nurtures character-driven role-playing games. EA has massive debt, is cutting 400 jobs, and should sell BioWare's IPs.
Have you watched the Mass Effect: Universe trailer? What did you think? Let me know in the comments below.
