Will his backstory get an update?

>Returning as Scrooge’s longtime paramour is Goldie O’Gilt, a fellow adventurer who has a curious relationship with old McDuck. “In our adaptation, Scrooge is more of an adventure junkie than a gold addict, so we kept saying, ‘Well, if Scrooge is like Batman, then Goldie should be like Catwoman,’” says Angones. “She’s equally adventurous, every bit Scrooge’s equal, and he hates and loves that. They have this amazingly contentious relationship that’s been going on ages and ages, spanning back to the Gold Rush days.”
In conclusion, I have no idea.

Ideally they will go alt history route to allow for shit from the late 1800s/early 1900s to still happen.

That or they will just say fuck it, do an episode with the famed "fountain of youth" to say Scrooge drank from it and as such, is now immortal. Which in turn would give a reason for Glomgold hating his guts; Glomgold was Scrooge's up and coming rival who got fucked over when Scrooge go made immortal/made young again by drinking from the fountaint.

Do we know it takes place in the current year? How do we know it's not just an alternate 80s (when the old show aired)?

Sailor.

They had GPS and cellphones. If it's not dated by year it's at least by tech

>>94822909
If it's the alternate 80's it's one with modern tech and aesthetics.

So its the present.

>>94822909
If we go by Rosa, it'd be like the 50s or something

Ducks in this universe having ridiculously long lifespans.

Well, we're pretty clearly diverging far from the comics territory so they probably have their own history to the characters with story beats that are similar but not identical to the originals.

Or, Scrooge did do all that crazy shit with the gold rush and all and he's still around because it was either the result of a time travel thing or he found the fountain of youth at some point and just won't die.

I said "alternate." It's no different from how Archer apparently happens in an alternate Cold War with modern cellphones.
