Will Closing the Hatch ever come back?

I thought it was pretty balanced, especially once they made the exit gates powered. Will it ever be implemented again?

    It was rescinded after the ptb caused some sectors of the survivor community to backlash, which is a shame considering it was actually very fair IMO. The person to find it first would win.

    I hope it does. The developers seem to have forgotten the Decisive Strike change as well, which is frustrating to see. I got falsely optimistic for hatch changes and DS changes, but it will be months before it happens now.

    I think instead of them bringing back closing hatch maybe test survivors having to find 3 parts to repair hatch escape within game. Have them repair exit gates with a lever while there at it xD Make them earn it by assembling there escape methods.

    It would make it so that at 3 gens and 2 people it would be a guarranteed 4 man no matter what. It was too strong and therefore reverted.

    I wouldn't mind the exit gate scenario.

    The game will end quickly which is what I like.

    Devs came up with the closing mechanic because they realized that it is broken.
    If they forget about all this now just because of survivors protesting, this would be hilarious

    Maybe they could make it so the hatch needs a key that you have to find as the last survivor?
