Mass Effect Universe "looked incredible" says creator who claims he advised BioWare

Content creator Dantics has revealed details about the cancelled Mass Effect Universe game, which was allegedly developed by BioWare. According to Dantics, the game would have been set 600 years after the Reaper War and revolved around a galactic Cold War between three major factions: humanity, the Krogan, the Batarians, and others.

The Council races would have formed their own alliance, while the Geth would have emerged as a third superpower. Players would control a customizable N7 agent, described as a cross between John Wick and James Bond. The game would feature experimental technology, giving players abilities such as hacking, manipulating the environment, and seeing through walls.

Missions would be handcrafted with Hitman-style freedom in how they were completed, and the game would include brutal close-range executions, squadmate conflicts, and open-ended romances. Dantics also mentioned the return of squadmate Liara as an incredibly powerful Asari Matriarch. Dantics claimed he served on the Mass Effect Council and provided feedback during development. However, none of this has been confirmed, and BioWare or EA have not commented on the claims.
