Ubisoft has announced that it will remove an AI generated image from its upcoming game Anno 117: Pax Romana after admitting that the artwork “slipped through [its] review process.” Players first noticed the issue when they saw unusual mistakes in the picture, such as odd looking people and strange background details. These problems made many believe the image had been created by a machine instead of a human artist.
After the concerns were shared online, Ubisoft released a cleaned up version of the artwork. The company explained that Anno 117 has the “largest team of artists ever for the franchise” and that the team uses AI tools to help with “iterations, prototyping, and exploration.” Ubisoft said the image that caused the confusion was never meant to be final.
“This image was a placeholder asset that unintentionally slipped through our review process. The final image is attached here and will replace the current version of this artwork with the upcoming 1.3 patch,” Ubisoft said.
Ubisoft also explained that the new game is their biggest Anno project so far. “With Anno 117: Pax Romana being our most ambitious Anno yet, we’ve assembled the largest team of artists ever for the franchise and to help meet the project’s unique scope, they use AI tools for iterations, prototyping, and exploration. Every element players will experience in the final game reflects the team’s craft, artistry, and creative vision.”
