The following is the Tron Universe Timeline, which features both confirmed and unconfirmed dates. [[Tron]] and [[Tron Legacy]] are on the same canon, but [[Tron 2.0]] is a different canon.
  
   
  +
The following is a '''timeline''' of the [[TRON Universe]], which features both confirmed and unconfirmed dates within the canon of the franchise. Since the release of ''[[TRON: Legacy]]'' and its corresponding tie-ins as the official continuations of the events of ''[[TRON]]'', the original timeline of the series has altered. ''[[TRON 2.0]]'', the initial continuation of ''TRON'', is classified as separate from the new timeline by director [[Joseph Kosinski]].<ref name="latimes">[http://herocomplex.latimes.com/uncategorized/tron-legacy-director-we-are-on-a-new-server-now/ ''Los Angeles Times:'' "‘Tron: Legacy’ director: ‘We are on a new server now’"]</ref> As with all media dealing with [[Wikipedia:Transmedia storytelling|transmedia]] or [[Wikipedia:Alternate reality game|ARG]] content, conflicts and discrepancies in either ''TRON'' canon may arise as a result of developer or production oversight.
−
Please note that several sources are contradicting each other with dates. For example, ENCOM's website states that development of [[Tron]] started in 1980, which contradicts with the IGN Interview with Alan Bradley, whom states that Tron was written in 1982.

It is during this decade that the [[Master Control Program]], an administrative program that oversees [[ENCOM ]]'s mainframe computers in [[Cyberspace]], is developed. [[Ed Dillinger]], a programmer at ENCOM, secretly begins to write codes into the MCP that tells the program to steal functions from other programs.

Revision as of 21:41, 3 October 2013

The following is a timeline of the TRON Universe, which features both confirmed and unconfirmed dates within the canon of the franchise. Since the release of TRON: Legacy and its corresponding tie-ins as the official continuations of the events of TRON, the original timeline of the series has altered. TRON 2.0, the initial continuation of TRON, is classified as separate from the new timeline by director Joseph Kosinski.[1] As with all media dealing with transmedia or ARG content, conflicts and discrepancies in either TRON canon may arise as a result of developer or production oversight.

TRON timeline

Timeline of TRON motion pictures and the Evolution games.

TRON Chronology

1970s

Between 1978 and 1982

Unknown year dates
The Master Control Program, an administrative program that oversees ENCOM's mainframe, and its Game Grid, is developed.
Ed Dillinger, a programmer at ENCOM, secretly begins to write codes into the MCP that tells the program to steal functions from other programs.
Flynn is fired by Ed Dillinger.
Alan Bradley, a programming engineer, starts coding an independent security program that monitors all contacts between ENCOM and other systems.
Flynn writes his best program yet, with the purpose of breaking into ENCOM's security systems.
Lora begins 'Matter Transform' tests using a laser that dismantles the molecular structure of objects in a process called digitization.

Mr. Dillinger shuts down access to all Group-7 personnel. Alan is denied access to his Tron program (Sep. 22).
Lora, working together with Dr. Gibbs, finishes yet another 'digitizing' test. Her theory of a scanned U-V laser beam being superior to single pulse exposure is a success.
Flynn sets an all-time world record in 'Space Paranoids' with 999,000 points.[2]
Alan, Flynn and Lora use a terminal from within ENCOM to forge a Group-6 access to activate Tron and use it to shut the MCP down and retrieve Flynn's evidence.[2]
Flynn is digitized into the Game Grid by the MCP while trying to access the mainframe.[2]

Anon defeats Abraxas.[11]
Anon is derezzed after falling from Clu's warship, the Regulator.
Flynn is trapped in The Grid by Clu.[11]
Quorra is rescued in the Outlands by Flynn.[5][11]
Flynn disappears. Sam is the official shareholder of ENCOM's stock[8]

Scientist, Keller, reverse engineers agent designed to liberate controlled programs, to create a mind control module.[16]
Keller is derezzed by Tesler for her failures.[17]
The Renegade's reputation is diminished by accusations of acts of terrorism.[18]
1995
Grandpa Flynn dies.[5]

2000s

2000
Grandma Flynn dies.[5]

Sam infiltrates ENCOM and releases ENCOM OS-12 to the world, free of charge.[5]
Sam goes to investigate a pager message from Kevin Flynn received by Alan Bradley from Flynn's.[5]
Sam is digitized into Tron City and forced to participate in the games.[5]
Tron overrides Clu 2's repurposing; he fails to stop Clu 2 from reaching the Portal and is seeming lost to the Sea of Simulation.[5]
Flynn sacrifices himself to prevent Clu from entering the portal; both are derezzed in subsequent explosion.[5]
Sam emerges from the Grid accompanied by Quorra.[5]
Sam seizes control of ENCOM and names Alan Bradley as ENCOM's new chairman of the board.[5][20]

Notes

  1. ↑ The e-mail concerning the similarities between Ma2a and Lora suggests that Lora's death was not immediate. There was some speculation among employees that Lora could've recorded a "vast [audio] library" for Ma2a from her deathbed.
  2. ↑ Page seven of issue #1 in TRON: The Ghost in the Machine confirms the series takes place six months after the events of TRON 2.0. Yet, on page eighteen, Alan's death in is dated April 19, 2006, suggesting that the events of 2.0 take place three years after the game's release in 2003. The latter was most likely an oversight on the part of writer's Landry Walker and Eric Jones.
