A leaked Mass Effect trailer shows what the cancelled game could have been
The next Mass Effect game, first teased in 2020, was cancelled alongside BioWare's shuttering. A leaked trailer for Mass Effect: Universe offers the best look at what it could have been. The roughly two-minute montage describes itself as in-engine footage from a small team using pre-production assets. In it, an ex-military officer in an N7 trenchcoat—similar to the one in the 2020 teaser—meets an Asari at a bar.

Take
A trailer built from pre-production assets is a mood board, not a demo.
Pushback
A mood board is still a promise. A two-minute montage can sell a tone without showing much of the game.
