An internal Mass Effect 5 trailer has reportedly leaked, offering you a glimpse at the sequel you'll never get to play
Yesterday, only a couple of months after EA went private after having been acquired by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, equity firm Silver Lake, and Jared Kushner's Affinity, it was announced that BioWare are being shut down , with development on their next Mass Effect game cancelled. Now, only a day after this was announced, a trailer that was meant for internal use only has been shared,…
A trailer for Mass Effect: Universe has emerged on Reddit, sparking speculation among fans. While its authenticity remains unconfirmed, it appears genuine based on visual and auditory cues. The music is accurate, and at least two PC Gamer journalists believe the voice belongs to Liara.
Shepard is absent, replaced by a new character who bears a striking resemblance to the iconic hero. However, the N7 emblem on Shepard's uniform is notably absent from the new recruit's attire. This omission might suggest the character is intended to be more of a problem-solver than a galaxy-savior, or possibly the character's rank advancement is part of their development arc.
The trailer shows no signs of artificial intelligence, lending credence to the notion that it is a genuine production. Moreover, a purported EA employee confirmed that a trailer was indeed created, indicating the game is further along in development than initially thought.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding its legitimacy, the trailer strikes the perfect balance of excitement, intensity, and humor. Even if it doesn't represent the final product, it certainly invites the question: Would we play it? The answer is a resounding yes.
