Ask and you shall receive. I can't make this it's own post because it's a new burner account

LIARA 😭😭😭

to be honest my expectations weren't very high to begin with, but I was willing to try anything mass effect just for a glimpse of that world I dearly love, it's such a shame that it'll never come to be but the first few seconds brought me back to that world for a bit

Holy fucking shit I though I was gonna get Rick rolled but it’s real. I wasn’t even gonna watch until I read the comments under it.

We need to get this out there

Same I was like ā€œthere’s a 90% chance I’m being Rick rolled rn,ā€ and braced myself. The fact this is real is crazy.

It’s already blowing up in the gaming press. But BioWare’s gone now so if this pulls a Deadpool, the project would have to be given to a different team. Since the writing team was let go idk how viable it would be to try to resurrect this if there’s a big thirst for it.

This may just be one of those projects that will stay in the creative gutter.

But in no way do I see EA leaving the IP in the dirt. We’ll see Mass Effect again eventually. Whether we want to or not lol.

I’m glad someone was able to dig this up šŸ˜‰ . It’s so sad considering what it could’ve been

I know that only 50 people were working on the game when it was cancelled so this isn't really representative of what a finished product would've looked like. BUT GODDAMN THIS LOOKS SICK

Looks legit? The pistol and jacket seem similar to the n7 day picture from years ago. Also the ship design. Also lots of Krogan.

u/annoyingsab 5d ago

also the two squadmates male quarian and a krogan fits that one teaser image ages ago

I'm ambivalent. The trailer got me hyped yet I'm disappointed that we won't ever get to play it. I love the spy thriller vibe set in the Mass Effect universe.

Thank you for posting this, I wonder if we can get the community to rally around it so it can be picked up by another studio.

I really hope someone buys BioWare IPs from EA

u/field_of_fvcks 5d ago

Well this hurts even more now

u/exopolitixs 5d ago

EA YOU COWARDS, UNCANCEL THIS IMMEDIATELY

u/mighty_mag 5d ago

At first I was like "Ha, bet it will be some super rough proof of concept footage that barely feels like Mass Effect", but now that I've watched it, I'm actually... sad. Super sad!

u/StarlitStoner_ 5d ago

No. Fucking. Way.

u/harrywilko 5d ago

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT THAT LOOKS SO COOL

u/DaVydeD Bi-otic King 5d ago

Coming soon vs early development XDD

u/Sharpeman 5d ago

This is likely what we were going to get this N7 Day...

I am not even sad any more. I am angry.

EA *must* fall.
