Canceled Mass Effect game's trailer circulates with 'Mass Effect: Universe' title card

A video presented as a trailer for the canceled next Mass Effect game circulated on Oct. 22, 2026. Kotaku describes a “Mass Effect: Universe” title card, an apparent Liara T’Soni appearance and a disclaimer about in-engine, pre-production footage. IGN called it an internal BioWare trailer; Kotaku and Insider Gaming initially couldn't verify its authenticity, but Kotaku later said it was real, and VGC cited Bloomberg's Jason Schreier confirming that.
