Why will Lights out event be available only for a week??

We finally get our first new event that looks really fun to take a break from the usual DBD experience that still suffers from the same old issues, just to learn it's only limited to 4 maps, for only 1 week...

Like..why, the vast majority would honestly love this to be a permanent addition on all maps as so many players that still play DBD are tired of the og game mode experience that's just devolves to 5-7 minutes, genrush, tunneling, proxy camping, 3 gen camping.

With lights out, because of the limited visibility and such I feel like a lot of these issues would be easier to deal with until BHVR fixes them in the game and realize the game suffering from really unfun gameplay aspects are the reason they lose players.

Sorry if this feels more like a rant but I'm trying to enjoy this game and it's hard and this new game mode has been a glimmer of hope, just to realize it only lasts a week on a limited map pool..

    It's an experimental work in progress and BHVR probably doesn't want to split the playerbase between regular game and side modes for too long.

    The developers already mentioned that it was a prototype, it’s just a test, an experiment to see how a new game mode would impact the game.


    During that week, they want to see how people enjoy it as well.

    I think it's obvious people want something new and lights out fit DBD really well, I really hope they gonna make the modifier last longer at least until they decide to make it permanent.

    Probably don't have the resources and manpower to manage two different modes of gameplay long term
