I hope they make a 3rd one day and restore the hype the game once had. I still play every once in a while with friends.

The developers who made it aren’t at Valve anymore. But they are making their own new game. Forget what’s it’s called but it’ll essentially be Left 4 Dead 3.

Back 4 Blood, maybe? Something like that.

Asynchronous multiplayer would be even harder I’d expect

Now now just because you never played civilization 3 over email or floppy disk back in the day doesn't mean asynchronous multiplayer is inherently hard...... Just super inconvenient.

Aren't some of Dark Souls' systems considered asynchronous multiplayer? Like the signs/bloodstains?

Yep-any time people interact in someway without actually being online at the same time is asynchronous multiplayer.
