A day after the trailer for BioWare's canceled Mass Effect game leaked, Australian YouTuber Dantics has shared what he claims are details about the project, which he calls Mass Effect Universe. Dantics says he was part of a private "Mass Effect Council" of content creators who saw the game and gave feedback during development, and that BioWare closing its doors means he can finally talk about it. According to his post on X, the game was set more than 600 years after the Reaper War, with players taking on the role of a customizable N7 agent, which he likens to a cross between John Wick and James Bond. Apparently, the galaxy was split into three factions (humanity, the Krogan and Batarians in one bloc, the Council races in another, and the Geth as a third superpower), locked in a galactic Cold War instead of another Reaper-style invasion.
Dantics also lists experimental implants that let players see through walls and remotely trigger hazards, handcrafted missions with Hitman-style freedom, brutal close-range executions, squadmates who clash, and Liara returning as a powerful Asari Matriarch. In a separate video, he says the game was being built to accommodate all three Mass Effect 3 endings. His council role hasn't been independently confirmed, though BioWare has credited community councils in past games, and project lead Michael Gamble follows him on X. EA hasn't commented on any of it, and since the game was still in early development when EA cut around 400 jobs, roughly 50 of them at BioWare, it's hard to say how much of this would have made it to launch.[](https://www.techpowerup.com/img/URxSOkQLKbzNUkQ8.jpg) [](https://www.techpowerup.com/img/0DhLskBMem9fPR2D.jpg)Read full story
