Leaked footage and insider accounts reveal canceled Mass Effect: Universe's spy-thriller design
Following EA's cancellation of the next Mass Effect game and BioWare's closure, a leaked internal trailer and comments from people involved reveal the project, titled Mass Effect: Universe. It would have followed a customizable N7 agent navigating a James Bond-style spy thriller centuries after Mass Effect 3, with returning character Liara appearing in the footage. Former Mass Effect Council member Dantics says the game would have used an experimental implant for environmental manipulation, akin to Cyberpunk 2077's hacking, within Hitman-style missions offering multiple approaches.
