When Does "Alien: Meet Walter" (2017) Take Place?
"Alien: Covenant - Meet Walter" is a science fiction short film written by Will Melton with Chris Eyerman that released March 10th, 2017. So when is "Meet Walter" set?
It takes place on the fictional Alien vs. Predator timeline roughly in the years:
We know this because it is a faux-found-footage advertisement from within the fictional universe (diegesis) for Walter, an updated version of David 8. The David series of androids was first advertised in "Happy Birthday, David" (2012), which has a copyright date of 2078 AD. So it must be some time after 2078 AD.
~2000s AD

Since it advertises the debut? of the Walter model and a Walter android is already out in the feature film "Alien: Covenant" (2017), which takes place in 2104? AD, it must be some time before 2104? AD.
It is the seventh chronological short film in the Alien vs. Predator timeline. It can be watched at its timeline point.
