One of 2026’s Best-Rated Games Is Basically Mass Effect With Spies

This week's news that EA was shutting down Mass Effect developer BioWare and canceling the next game in the series was a blow to the industry. It was made all the worse when a leaked trailer for the game, known as Mass Effect: Universe, showed exactly what we would all be missing: Mass Effect meets James Bond. That sure is an enticing pitch, and while BioWare will never be able to deliver on what the trailer teased, that also describes one of this year's best games.
