The footage, labeled as in-engine with pre-production assets, shows a human ex-soldier talking to an Asari character and includes a flashback battle sequence and a cameo from a character from the original trilogy, ending with the title Mass Effect: Universe. Bloomberg's Jason Schreier and IGN have both said the trailer is authentic.
