  "account": "The recent unveiling of a leaked trailer for Mass Effect: Universe has provided fans with a tantalizing glimpse into the next installment of the beloved franchise. This short, roughly two-minute video, described as \"in-engine footage from our small team using our pre-production assets,\" showcases an ex-military officer donning a N7 trenchcoat, reminiscent of the one seen in the 2020 teaser. The mysterious character begins by expressing his frustration with the cyclical nature of military life, stating that \"by the time you put out one fire, another had already started.\" He then delves into his new career, which involves \"stopping [the fires] before they start\" and making choices that others are too afraid to make, ultimately venturing into territories others shy away from.",
