Does this mean ME5 was close to completion, or that a trailer can be cobbled together early in production? I suspect it’s the latter seeing how many trailers precede the game by several years.
They started working on art assets, sound and animations at the very least for this WIP trailer but even then the ingame trailer isnt complete (lots of reused assets). My guess is its all paperwork with maybe a few blockouts to prototype new gameplay ideas while the art team worked on the trailer
It would most likely have been a cinematic trailer, created by a VFX company hired for the job. ME5 was in early production, likely no game to speak of at this point, just storylines and concept art mostly. Maybe a vertical slice demo, but I doubt it.

It wasn’t
Yeah and they repeatedly said it was in “early stages” of production.
Concepts of early stages of production.
It looks like it was early production
