What year would Left 4 Dead 3 take place in?

[Raven Guardian]

If Valve were to ever make a sequel for this game, what year would it take place in? Since the game came out in 2009 and the graffiti in the game also references the year as 2009, how would they deal with that in a sequel? I know LFD 3 will probably never happen ( just like ep3/HL3) but what do you think?

I figured that since L4D came out in 2008 and L4D2 came out in 2009 that L4D3 would have come out in 2010. I don't know, just a wild guess.

It must be between Gordon Freeman's time travelling stuff

Refer to most zombie apocalypse stories, more than 5 years of outbreak its either an epilogue or another sequel.

He already said he knows it'll never happen, he just wanted to know what other people thought if L4D3 WAS to be released.

I’m late to the party but since the first game takes place 2 weeks after the first infection, and the second takes place 3-4 weeks after the first infection, regardless of the year left 4 dead 3 would hypothetically take place 5-6 weeks after the first infection. Unless they decided to reboot it then probably in whatever year they decide to release it in.
