In a rather bizarre story earlier today, some Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag concept art managed to pop up in the latest Uncharted 4: A Thief's End trailer. After it was pointed out by a Ubisoft employee, people began to assume that Naughty Dog may have nicked the picture and been caught red handed.

As it turns out, that assumption might not be far from the truth. The studio has posted an official statement that reads "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." It concludes: "We want to sincerely apologize to everyone at Ubisoft, the Assassin's Creed team, the original artist, and our fans."

A classy response, then, but we're sure that there'll be blushes in the Naughty Dog office right now. And, as stated, the developer has indeed pushed out a new trailer - one that doesn't feature the now infamous concept art - which we've embedded at the bottom of this article. As if you needed another excuse to watch it.
