Details of the cancelled Mass Effect Universe have surfaced online, and it seems that BioWare was preparing a much more ambitious game than many expected.
What the new Mass Effect was:
• Set 600 years after Mass Effect 3 in the Milky Way, after the destruction of the retransmitters, humanity was cut off from the galaxy and the Citadel remained in Earth orbit.
• Over the past few centuries, retransmitters have been restored, and technology has advanced so far that even the developments of the Harvestmen were considered outdated.
• The main character was a fully customizable N7 agent, described as a mix of John Wick and James Bond. He had to investigate the crisis between the three factions Alliance, the new Council, and the Ghettos and uncover the actions of an unknown adversary running the conflict from the shadows.
• The authors found a way to unite all the ends of the third part.
• Liara became an influential matriarch of the Azari, like her mother, Bénézie.
• The Ghettos became a liaison with Mass Effect: Andromeda. They mastered the construction of giant space structures, the most complex of which could only be created in collaboration with organic races.
The gameplay was also going to be seriously reworked:
• Instead of fully linear missions, spacious locations were planned with different Deus Ex and Hitman modes.
• The breach allowed you to interact with the environment, view space through walls and remotely activate traps, including gas emissions.
• Among the confirmed companions were a krogan, a quarian, and a woman-man. The satellites could conflict with each other, as in Dragon Age: Origins.
• The overall tone promised to be the most mature and dark in the series' history, and the romantic lines were planned to be much more candid.
The most interesting thing is the state of development.
According to Shinobi602, the project was far from an early stage. The plot, characters, partners, worlds and most of the game mechanics had already been worked out.
Work began in 2020 with BioWare veterans and new specialists, including Mary Demarly, best known for Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided.
However, the sources claim that the project did not suffer from the production chaos that accompanied Andromeda and The Veilguard.
The alleged reason for the cancellation was a change in EA's priorities after the company went private.
Dantics claims to have personally seen the game and was impressed: BioWare finally created Mass Effect specifically for fans of the series. #game
