Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

The report is PC Gamer's, on its own for now. They usually verify before posting. The previous Mass Effect trailer came out 2 days before this story. In the 30 days before this one, 57 other Mass Effect stories ran here.
