A person claiming to be a fired Bioware employee posted on Reddit an in-engine (UE5) trailer Bioware had made for the game a few months back, likely for a reveal at The Game Awards in December. The Mass Effect Reddit mods couldn't authenticate the video, but found no generative AI markers, and some independent sources have stated it is a legitimate trailer for the game.

Looks pretty good, reminds me of trailers for the original trilogy in terms of tone, and I'm not seeing character designs that feel like they were part of social justice messaging like Dragon Age Veilguard, I feel like they had learned some lessons from Veilguard flopping.

My last post just reminded me of the hookwink we got with Veilguard.

They showed early trailers for that, which looked drastically differnt from its release date look.
Which also looked more "proper" Dragon age like.  Back then, reception was very positive for the game.

That changed when we got close to release, and the game looked nothing like what was promised or showed off early on.

Basically a early teaser trailer is worth nothing, if you already proved you can fool people so completely before hand.

I cant help but note that you chose "in terms of tone" wording.
That was a core negative for veilguard, where alot of fans felt it missed the mark, and went disneyfied instead of how it was supposed to be.
And how it was shown early on.  <-----  (the hookwink I refer too)
