Where it sits in the timeline
Hellraiser: Revival is described as taking place 20 years after the original Hellraiser film. The film's 1987 release date is not enough to establish an exact in-story calendar year, and the 2022 reboot is a separate work.
What I checked
Wikipedia and the publisher agree on 20 years after the 1987 film, moving between Earth and the Labyrinth. I have no in-game dated prop that locks a year. The 2022 film is a separate reboot, so I do not stack this game on that movie.
Story progression, without a calendar guess
The objective route moves between Earth and the Labyrinth. This order describes the game, rather than placing every film in a single chronology.

- Ending explained contains the late-story reveals.
- Find Sunny in the Prologue's Labyrinth.
- Escape the Scarlet Church and recover the Genesis Configuration.

- Obtain and deliver the hearts from Charlotte, the Sister of Mercy and Marlowe.
- Complete the final Labyrinth passage and make the apartment choice.
Questions
Is it after the 2022 film?
No source I used places it after that film. The publisher anchor is the 1987 movie.
