A trailer for BioWare's in-development Mass Effect sequel has leaked on Reddit, just as the possibility of it ever being released has all but vanished following EA's closure of the studio. The trailer was posted from a burner account by a user who claims to be an EA employee, and Bloomberg's Jason Schreier has separately confirmed the footage is the real deal in a Bluesky post.
