Update: Naughty Dog has released a statement regarding the trailer:

"In our eagerness to get the story trailer out we made a regrettable mistake and didn’t thoroughly vet the art work used for an in game painting. We’ve already updated the trailer. We hold all artistry in high regard and take full responsibility for having allowed this to happen.

We want to sincerely apologize to everyone at Ubisoft, the Assassin’s Creed team, the original artist and our fans.

Naughty Dog"

A new version of the trailer has been released with replaced art.

Naughty Dog creative director Neil Druckmann also admitted on Twitter, "No two ways about it... we f*cked up"

Original story follows:

The latest story trailer for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End released this morning, and Assassin's Creed head of content Azaïzia Aymar thinks the game might be taking "thief" a little too seriously.

Aymar took to Twitter to point out a painting seen in the trailer resembles a scene from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag in all but one way.

"At least they removed the character," Aymar wrote, using an emoticon to indicate a bit of cheekiness, perhaps.

The scene depicted in the trailer and the ACIV art are undeniably similar. If it isn't a direct copy, it's at least a staggering coincidence.

Scene from the Uncharted 4 trailer.

Art from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

Everything from the naturally occurring bridge in the stone, to the lone rock off shore, down to the beached rowboat appear in both scenes.

The Uncharted 4: A Thief's End story trailer dropped at 9 am ET this morning with Naughty Dog calling it its best ever.

Of course, the similarities between the art in the trailer and the ACIV art might be more than a simple case of cutting and pasting assets.

It could be a sly nod to the Assassin's Creed franchise, or an intentional easter egg. Or it could be someone unknowingly found a nice tropical scene online and used it as part of the trailer.

We don't know the "whys" and the "hows," but we've reached out to Ubisoft and Sony for comment.
