Leaked internal trailer for cancelled Mass Effect: Universe surfaces online

A roughly two-minute pre-production trailer for Mass Effect: Universe, the next entry in the series teased in 2020, has leaked online following BioWare's shuttering and the game's cancellation. The footage shows an N7 veteran meeting an Asari in a bar before a mass-effect-powered gunfight breaks out, alongside glimpses of other game locations. IGN and Bloomberg's Jason Schreier have since corroborated the leak's authenticity, which first appeared via an anonymous Reddit post.
