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.
