BioWare Closure and Trailer Leak
This week, the gaming industry was shaken by EA's announcement of the closure of BioWare, a studio with a long history in game development. Following this news, a trailer for the project Mass Effect: Universe was leaked online.
The trailer first appeared on Reddit and has been verified by Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier, affirming its authenticity. It provides fans with a glimpse of what Mass Effect 5 might look like, featuring early-stage production materials created by a small internal team at BioWare.
The footage reveals elements of espionage and thriller, set against the backdrop of the events following the Reaper War depicted in the original Mass Effect trilogy. Notably, the popular character Liara T’Soni makes an appearance in the trailer.
EA had previously assured fans in late 2025 that development on Mass Effect 5 was ongoing. However, with the studio's closure this week, the development plans for Mass Effect: Universe have also come to an end.
