In Carbon Rites, the USM placed humans and synthetics together in simulations based on locations from previously documented extraterrestrial encounters such as LV-223 from the film Prometheus, the South China Sea from the novel Predator: South China Sea, DS 949 from the comic Aliens: Berserker, and Sevastopol from the video game Alien: Isolation.

Aliens: Berserker is tied to the classic AVP storyline. It's all connected.

Engineer

The Engineers, also known as Pilots[2] (after the individual discovered on LV-426), Space Jockeys,[3] Ossians[1] or Mala'kak,[4] were an ancient extraterrestrial species of unknown origin. They possessed some of the most advanced technology in the entire galaxy, with special emphasis placed on...

Alien: The Roleplaying Game broadly speculates that the Space Jockey seen in the first film may in fact be a different species to the Engineers.

Oh shit, this is a Predators sequel. I guess it's set in 2010 though since he was taken in 2010.

Well, I guess the individual Moments of Extraction shorts could be placed in the timeline instead of just the full compilation now that I think about it, since they don't have the beginning and end set in 2024 and would work well to be watched in 2010 on the viewing order.

Makes sense on the placement. The time difference on Predators still bothers me. I'm not sure I see the need to make it further in the timeline but it's official now so...lol

Well, Marvel's Predator comics show that they freeze prey for a number of years to be part of the hunt on the Game Preserve Planet. Since those comics place Predators in 2010 and Hunting Grounds places the film in 2024, I think them being taken in 2010 and being unfrozen in 2024 makes relative sense.
 
It stretches out the suggested time gap between Daniels waking up and checking out the med-bay, but the two Alien: Covenant shorts that are usually discounted can actually sorta fit into the film? Well, I tried it. Seemed logical to me.
 
They're not great fits, I'll admit. The "x ALQ" short suggests that a Praetomorph is on-board on December 5th, even showing a black shadow that looks like one. She Won't Go Quietly suggests that Daniels didn't immediately go to the med-bay to check on the chestbusted corpse and instead had a brief skirmish with the creature. However, if you're creative enough, it does actually kind of work with the film. Besides, I think the footage in some of these were deleted scenes that were turned into short films so it's not like it wasn't supposed to work.

The book also features a humorous cameo by
Predator star Arnold Schwarzenegger as himself, during a brief sequence where Mary dreams that she is on the beach in Los Angeles and sees him taking part in a publicity outing as part of his role as Governor of California.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is canon. Can you imagine if he met Dutch?
 
He would probably question why Dutch has an Austrian accent even though he's fully American
 
Just for fun since we are talking about tie ins to the original Predator movies...

Predator: Eyes of the Demon - Aftermath -- 9/1987, Dutch is interrogated by Keyes and Gerber then runs off to fight a Predator in North Carolina, records a tape afterwards

Predator: If It Bleeds - Drug War -- 25 years after Predator 2 (2022), Harrigan and Garber are in Rio and a Bad Blood Predator is causing trouble
