Date finally confirmed

At last! I've gathered all the things we need to confidently confirm that The Curse of the Pharaohs DLC takes place after The Hidden Ones DLC.

It was when I saw that the CotP page stated that the DLC "takes place four years after the main game", I was sure that this was incorrect. So, I searched for sources that would confirm otherwise and that's when I found this link. Here, Steam user Xall asked in the platform's Discussions about the order in which they have to play the DLCs. They later received a reply from an official Ubisoft employee called UbiCosmos.

Curse of the Pharaohs takes place years after the Hidden ones so it is recommend to play them in order and after the main story. Plus, with Hidden ones you can reach level 45, and CoTP to level 55, so it is naturally progressive.

Then, from this statement, we can say without any doubts that the CotP DLC takes place in 34 BCE. Four years after Bayek and Amunet laid the last to rest. Cristophorus35 (talk) 08:54, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Eh technically we have conflicting info without anything supporting which is correct. We always knew CotP took place after THO and have treated it as such just taking place within the same year.Lacrossedeamon (talk) 09:20, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Lacrosse, when you respond to talk page messages with a counter-claim, you should explain the evidence you're referring to. What "conflicting info" do you mean? Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 10:01, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Cristy already provided both set of conflicting info “CotP takes place four years after the main game” which sets it in the same year as THO and “CotP takes place years after THO”. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 14:53, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

When Cris said "CotP takes place four years after the main game", he was referring to what our own article says, which is information he is saying is incorrect based on what he has discovered. He didn't provide both sets of conflicting information. If CotP does take place four years after the main game, that claim remains to be sourced. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 15:58, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

That reply in that Steam discussions post doesn't mention it taking place "four years" after The Hidden Ones, just some unspecified "years" after, so that post itself doesn't seem to back that idea up. It seems to confirm it takes place at least two years after, but that's it. Microwave174 (talk) 15:51, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Cris's point is that the Steam thread confirms that CotP is set after THO. He may have left out that the beginning of CotP says that it's been four years, I believe is where he may be getting the conclusion. I don't have time to verify at the moment.

Fair enough, I didn't think to check here, and that article does indeed state through Amunet's dialogue that it had been four years. Microwave174 (talk) 16:07, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Most of the news sites like IGN state the "4 years after the main game" but I'm having trouble finding a primary source for the claim. Ubisoft is really bad at archiving it's announcements or the news sites were just going from the note that Microwave points out although I vaguely remember Ubisoft themselves saying it. I do feel the note is referencing the main game rather than THO but that would actually put CotP in 40BC not 38BC. As it were do we actually have a source for THO taking place in 38BC?
