Assassin's Creed creator's new game is the latest to feature AI-generated assets its devs forgot to take out: "We own up to this oversight and apologize for any upset caused"

Black cat glares menacingly.

Panache Digital Games, the studio led by OG Assassin's Creed director Patrice Desilets, has apologized for letting AI-generated assets slip into the prologue demo for its upcoming action-adventure game, 1666: Amsterdam.

When 1666: Amsterdam resurfaced at this year's Summer Game Fest with a horror-tinged trailer full of witchy themes and black cats, I'll freely admit I was transfixed in the best way. I'm a simple man: give me an alternative take on a historical city, throw in some black magic and ritualistic sacrifice, and I'm all yours. Well, I suppose that's actually incredibly niche, but that's not the point. Point is, I was really excited about 1666: Amsterdam for all of one week, and I still am, to a degree, but unfortunately, the demo released for SGF hasn't been received well at all, partly due to suspicions of AI-generated content, which Panache itself has now confirmed.
