This is confirmed to be real according to Jason Schrier. They were going to use this trailer to reveal the game soon if Bioware hadn’t closed. It’s obviously a little unpolished (especially in the fake gameplay section) but it did look promising.

    It’s a decent trailer.

    My instant headcanon is playing as a spectre turned shadow broker agent. That could have been done well.

    But also, Liara looking visibly old, is so odd.

    She looks older here than ANY matriarch we’ve seen except for maybe Benezia.

    Meaning this would have been set at least 600, probably more like 800 years after the original trilogy.

      I goyr me thinking of a bounty hunting. You’re hired by Liara to track down targets. You put together your crew of specialists and have to switch out party members depending on the bounty.

      One can dream.

        Ooh. Eliminating targets for Liara/The Shadow Broker, sure, but I don’t know that doing it for money works for the “I wanted to make a difference” angle in the trailer here.

        But I like the focus being preparing for and carrying out assassinations on key targets. You could even implement the suicide mission mechanics where bringing the wrong squadmates for a certain target, means one or both of them die.
