Square Enix says the unusual artwork tied to The Kingdom Hearts Collection [I-III] was not created with AI. In a new statement, the company said the image was the result of human error, addressing online discussion that followed the reveal.
The cover art became a talking point after fans pointed out its odd appearance. Because strange visual details are often associated with AI-generated images, some players quickly speculated that generative tools may have been involved.
Square Enix is now rejecting that idea. Based on the statement referenced in reports, the publisher says the problem came from a mistake made by people during the production process, not from AI image generation.
The clarification arrives at a time when game companies are facing closer scrutiny over how promotional art is made. For Kingdom Hearts fans, the update shifts the focus from AI concerns to a quality-control issue surrounding the collection's cover presentation.
