When does the Tyranny of King Washington take place?
I finished the main storyline and just started the The Tyranny of King Washington DLC. Before starting I understood that the DLC is an alternative universe, as detailed in the first episode's description on the Xbox Marketplace:
Following the revolution, Washington goes mad with power and rules as a tyrannical King. Connor awakes in this reality as Ratonhnhaké:ton – never having joined the Assassin order – and is greeted by his mother Kaniehtí:io, accepting a new mission to take down Washington. Acquire all-new skills to fend off this new threat to freedom. Live history as it never happened and ignite a new revolution!
I assumed that the the storyline takes part after the events in the main game, albeit without "Connor" joining the Assassins. However, a couple of things do not make sense when compared to the main storyline:
1 - Kaniehtí:io (Connor's mother) died when Ratonhnhaké:ton (Connor) was a boy, by an attack ordered on the village by George Washington, whereas in the DLC you see Connor's mother killed by an attack (ordered by George Washington) when he is an adult
2 - Ratonhnhaké:ton (Connor) receives his hidden blades from Achilles, and later kills his father (Haytham), whereas in the DLC Haytham doesn't appear to make an appearance but Connor receives his father's hidden blades from his mother
How far back does this alternative reality actually begin?
At what point in the main story do the events of the DLC begin (e.g. is it after Sequence 12)?
Best Answer
I would say Washington never deployed the attack on Connor's Village. This would have meant Connor's mother never died and Connor would never have had that motive to leave the village (seeking answers surrounding his mother's death). George Washington's path will have played out differently as well... perhaps in that time he encounters the apple and is corrupted by its power, winning the revolution and making himself King??? (Simplest answer). So the variable is no attack on the village..

Answer 2
Look in the little details. It must be before sequence 12 because of the hair of Connor, he hasn't had his hair cut yet!
Answer 3
Its a Parallel universe or an alternate timeline as you may say . In the beginning of the game we see that connor in the original universe is sitting infront of a bonfire. Then washington comes to him by horse. Washington shows connor the apple he found. Connor points at the apple & warns washington of its dangerous effects & tells him to not use it. Washington consumed by the apples greed gets angry & uses the power against connor. As we don't know what the true potentials of the apple of eden made by 1st civilization are,as far as we know the apple could even rewrite time or mess with time or something. My theory is that- at the same time the washington in the dlc universe(the one where connors mother is alive)also used the apple. Thus it cause some kind of cross time brain swap. Meaning that the conscience of the connor from the original universe ended in the dlc universe & thus he remembers the story of the original timeline. This theory probably makes sense & may be true.
