Sony and Naughty Dog dealt with a major goof with their otherwise brilliant Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End story trailer released today. Ubisoft’s Azaïzia Aymar noticed that the video contained an image lifted from Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag video game, and he said so on Twitter.

An embarrassed Naughty Dog issued an apology and took down the offending trailer. It has since issued a new trailer, this time with a new piece of art substituted for the offending image at the 1 minute 36-second mark in the video below.
