The Curse of the Pharaohs is a downloadable content expansion package for Assassin's Creed: Origins. Released on 13 March 2018, it is the second of two expansion packs for the game, alongside The Hidden Ones.
Set four years after The Hidden Ones and its story in Sinai,[1][2] The Curse of the Pharaohs sees Bayek travel to Thebes and the Valley of the Kings, where he will uncover a mysterious "curse" that will develop into a "living nightmare".[3] Further exploring Egyptian mythology, the expansion pits Bayek against mythical beasts and seemingly undead pharaohs.
Synopsis[edit | edit source]
Embark on a brand-new quest to the city of Thebes! The Assassin's Creed® Origins journey continues as Bayek learns of a curse raising undead pharaohs who ravage the city. Investigate the cause and defeat mythical beasts to put these pharaohs to rest. Fight undead pharaohs and mystical beasts from Egyptian mythology while uncovering the cause of a horrific curse. Explore four brand-new regions: The Valley of the Kings, City of Thebes, Aswan, and Kharga Oasis. Enhance your gear set by wielding new legendary weapons with unique attributes. Make Bayek even deadlier with a higher-level cap and new abilities.[3]

CODEX (@TheCodexNetwork) on Twitter "#AssassinsCreed Head of Content, Azaïzia Aymar (@AymarMtl) has just confirmed that there were mistakes regarding the chronological order of the stories of The Hidden zones [sic] & The Curse of the Pharaohs and that they're investigating the possibility of fixing that with an update. pic.twitter.com/YkbyfQtTxY pic.twitter.com/YkbyfQtTxY pic.twitter.com/YkbyfQtTxY pic.twitter.com/YkbyfQtTxY" (screenshot)
↑ Aymar Azaïzia (@AymarMtl) on Twitter "@TheCodexNetwork So we are currently looking on the fastest way to do so, that would be erasing the date in Sinai that was here by mistake, we are looking into options on how to. We will also update any relevant lore elements (future books and so on). Sorry for the issue guys, thanks!!!" (screenshot)
↑ CODEX (@TheCodexNetwork) on Twitter "@AymarMtl Thank you for the rich clarification and for always doing your best to keep the story together. Looking foreward to a great future for Assassin’s Creed rich in the lore elements that we love and anticipate. Have a great day!" (screenshot)

↑ Aymar Azaïzia (@AymarMtl) on Twitter "@Tomas_Gazar @TheCodexNetwork Both happens the same year, Hidden ones before the Curse. The mistake was in the Sinai region loading text. Remember before THO "The content of the Hidden Ones takes place four years after the end of the main story. Players are expected to have attained an advanced level."" (screenshot)
