Bioware Releases Mysterious Trailer at 3 a.m.


Bioware and EA sent out an email around 1 a.m. PST containing the subject line "You've Been Chosen."

The email also includes a link to a mysterious, unspecified video game trailer. The website, however, for those "chosen" is currently unavailable, perhaps due to the sheer number of people trying to access the site.

Nonetheless, the trailer was discovered to also exist on Youtube and may be watched below.


Beneath the trailer in the email, the text reads:

"The time is near... they are watching
Your power is rising
You've been chosen."

One Youtube comment suggests the trailer is for another Mass Effect game, while others link it to the Dragon Age beta or supernatural conspiracies. There is no official word on who, what, or why the trailer was released at what seems to be the "Witching Hour" for some recipients, however the email does provide a hidden, yet massive clue.



The email's hyperlink image of the broken lamp saves under the file-name  "ShadowRealms_Teaser_Video." While it doesn't give much to what the game is, EA did trademark the name "Shadow Realms" earlier this year. According to nextgengaming.com, EA filed to trademark this potentially brand new IP on February 28.

As of 2:28 a.m. PST, the official website containing the trailer is still down and the Bioware and EA Twitter accounts are silent regarding the mysterious trailer.
