Additional details about BioWare's canceled Mass Effect game have leaked online, revealing a story that would have taken choices from the Commander Shepard trilogy into account if EA hadn't shut down the studio. The long-awaited and currently canned follow-up for the sci-fi RPG franchise, which was working under the title Mass Effect: Universe, was built around decisions made in the original games, according to comments shared by former technical director Romain Toutain during a recent livestream (via Kotaku ). As more details about the project leak, there's no telling exactly how thorough this system would have been, but he did his best to give fans an idea. "All the choices made in the first Mass Effect games were taken into account," Toutain said (translation via Bluesky user @loustica-lucia.bsky.social ). "One of the reasons why it was called 'Mass Effect: Universe' is that you had so many choices. That you could plug your saves together to creat...

Manni L. Perez, the actress long rumored to be playing Lucia in GTA 6 , has gone viral after dodging a swarm of comments from Grand Theft Auto fans during a recent livestream. Rockstar Games has refrained from confirming the vast majority of the cast of next month's new GTA game, but as if there was ever any doubt, that hasn't stopped ravenous fans from piecing a list together themselves. Perez is one name theorists have talked about for years, so she took a few minutes to let thousands of viewers get to know her while masterfully dodging a swarm of GTA 6 comments along the way. Reaching a peak of more than 2,100 viewers on a six-month-old Instagram account with just nine posts, Perez spent her 12-minute livestream just talking about her life growing up in a "small, rural, redneck-y" town. She lives in a studio apartment with a dog, loves to cook, grew up driving trucks, and as far as everyone else is officially concerned, she definitely will not be the star of the so...

Mass Effect fans are calling for a boycott of all EA products and services in protest of the company closing down BioWare and canceling the next Mass Effect game. It’s a rough time for Mass Effect fans. On October 21, EA announced its plans to shut down BioWare , a 30-year-old studio that spearheaded RPGs in the West with titles like Dragon Age, Jade Empire, Baldur’s Gate, and of course, Mass Effect . Players were eagerly awaiting news of the next game in BioWare’s beloved sci-fi franchise — but EA shut that down, too, revealing in a statement that the project was officially canceled. In the two days since then, fans of BioWare and the Mass Effect series have gathered together to call for action, begging EA to at least sell off BioWare’s IP to other studios rather than letting them languish. In fact, tensions have become so strained that players are now calling for an outright boycott of EA’s products and services until something is done. On Reddit, several threads are rallying Mass Ef...
