From what I remember they never made a clear statement that it would be returning. It could return at some point though. All depends on how this event goes and how the new server will perform.Tolero in her most recent video chat with Cordovan did say that Hardcore would be returning in future.
This event is taking place instead of one HC season, but it is not a replacement for HC itself.
Personally I don't see it happening anything soon if the 64bit server is a succes. Not within a year or two. They will focus on making money with the new VIP server. Can't go back to adding old 32 bit servers with Hardcore that performs less good and will empty the VIP server again... For players who already recently spend all their money on new characters and guild on VIP server. And they can't put the new 64bit server on Hardcore because players don't want to lose their new characters from this Lantern event.
