so my guess is between 2025 en 2029, i believe the events is this game wil is some way "create" the AC3 events, also belive we will see some kind of Coffin system (maybe ptototypes) in this game because it will be relly nice in VR... Foreshadowing AC3? I like that idea. Plus, a certain part of Dision's article, not sure if it's canon or fanon,  fits in your guess.
