A leaked Mass Effect game, Mass Effect Universe, was set to have a completely different tone, moving away from galactic warfare and toward covert ops, espionage, and barroom shootouts, according to gaming content creator Dantics. The game was set over 600 years after the Reaper War and players would step into the boots of a customizable N7 agent. Dantics was part of a private community feedback group that advised BioWare's small team on the game. The game would have a smaller arsenal of weapons, making players feel like a cross between John Wick and James Bond, and would rely on cunning to get through encounters, but could apply pressure when needed.
