A content creator who claims to have served on a BioWare community council has shared alleged details about the cancelled next Mass Effect game, titled Mass Effect Universe.
In a lengthy Twitter/X post (thanks, PC Gamer), YouTuber Dantics claimed the cancelled game was set more than 600 years after the Reaper War.
He said he'd had access via his role on the "Mass Effect Council" and had seen firsthand what BioWare was developing, and provided feedback during development.
According to Dantics, the game would have centred on a "galactic Cold War" between three major factions, rather than another Reaper-style invasion. Humanity, the Krogan, the Batarians, and others would have allied, with the Council races forming their own alliance and the Geth emerging as a third superpower.
He also mentioned Geth-built megastructures, connections between the Milky Way and Andromeda, and a "shadowy adversary".
Players would have controlled a customisable N7 agent, which Dantics described as "a cross between John Wick and James Bond" rather than "a walking gun rack".

They would also have had experimental technology implanted, giving them the ability to hack and manipulate the environment, see through walls, identify systems, and remotely trigger hazards.
