How the devs can bring back Hawkins

What if the devs made a map for the trickster with the same general layout of Hawkins, but with the aesthetic of Trickster. We got that unique lobby when the trickster was released, they could use that style to give us another hawkins, using alleys and tight roads instead of a laboratory.

Thoughts?

    They have said it will be retired period (as in, won't be reskinned or anything like that).

    I'm...not 100% sure why as that seems like a lot of work to just have go down the toilet but I am not a Game Scientist so what do I know?

    So you just want a reskin for a terrible map we've already seen before? No thanks, not for me lol

    I don't think it's a terrible map. But it does have unique textures, hooks, layouts. I wouldn't be opposed to a "reworked" version of Hawkins as a second Lery's Hospital map or something. I just strongly dislike the removal of unique gameplay content.

    I hate Hawkins as much as the next guy but I can also understand that many people actually enjoyed Hawkins.

    I would love a city map a lot.

    But Trickster's entire aesthetic is like puking neon all over everything and I really wouldn't care for that. Or any boy band stuff.

    The best way to bring back Hawkins is to not only reskin the map but change some key areas and remove and/or add new ones. The idea is to keep the overall feel of the map similar but change just enough for it to be its own thing. That way, should they ever get the license back, we won't have two completely identical maps in rotation. As for the theme of it, as I've said previously, I'd prefer Trickster to get a different style of map. The Hawkins Layout could be repurposed into a them of an Abandoned Mineshaft, Alternate Area of Lery's, A Rundown Hospital, A Prison, or any number of ideas. It is one of my favorite maps as both killer and survivor.


    Plus....I just don't want the easter egg to be removed too.

    I think Netlxi pulling out all of his content copyright to make a new game either shooting fps or horror .

    Rename it “Hawk’s Inn” and turn it into a super spooky desert hotel! Cue the Eagles’ intro to Hotel California 🎶🎵🎶

    For last time, the question isn't to know if people like or not a specific map or not.

    EULA is clear, BHVR can remove all the content they want. But the Hawkins removal prove several things :

    • BHVR didn't secure maps in case of lack of agreements (6 realms on 16)
    • BHVR know that licenced content may be desapear but haven't backup plan (tweak/reskin map) in this case.

    So think a bit further than "Anyway I don't like Hawkins" because its not the main issue at all.
