Naughty Dog has apologised for allowing Assassin’s Creed artwork to be used in yesterday’s Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Story Trailer.

A scene in the trailer showed Nathan Drake looking at a picture on a wall, with the picture in question clearly having been lifted from artworks for Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag.

“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,” reads a statement published by the studio last night. “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.”
