Short answer
Panache acknowledged that some early versions of assets made it into the Prologue and external marketing. The studio specifically mentioned some in-game portraits and marketing assets.
What did the developer say it would do?
In the pinned Steam statement, Panache said it was reviewing the assets and that human-made replacements would be released. The studio also said the Early Access and full game will not include assets generated by AI.
What this page does not claim
A player spotting something that “looks AI-generated” is not enough for this site to label it AI. Likewise, the statement does not justify claiming every asset in the Prologue used AI. The accurate description is narrower: the studio found some early assets, acknowledged the oversight, and promised replacement/no AI-generated assets in EA and the full game.
Why this remains a useful page
“1666 Amsterdam AI” and “AI assets” have already become distinct search intents. Early Access launched August 25, 2026. Panache’s pre-launch statement still says EA and the full game will not include AI-generated assets. Some launch-week player reviews still argue about AI; those comments are player reports, not a new studio disclosure. This page changes when Panache publishes a new statement.
