EA announced yesterday that it has shut down BioWare and cancelled the studio’s upcoming Mass Effect project. Despite the cancellation, a video that appears to be a trailer for the game was posted on Reddit today.
The clip opens with a note stating that it contains “in‑engine footage” and uses “pre‑production assets.” It follows an ex‑soldier as he talks with a mysterious Asari who approaches him at a bar. A brief flashback shows a combat sequence that resembles a modern take on the gameplay style of the original Mass Effect trilogy. The video features the familiar mix of humans and alien species, quick cuts to action moments, and other hallmarks of the franchise.
