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.

The short version

  • 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.

What happened

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".

Why it matters

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".
