The Warhammer world and the HQ world are clearly the same thing. The Empire, World Edge Mountains, Sea of Claws, Athel Loren, Black Fire Pass and Karak Varn and many others are all shown on the Warhammer maps.
But Hasbro have no interest in any of that. It’s pretty clear to me that the new owners/designers never played Heroquest or have any love for the old game. I have my doubts that they ever played Warhammer Fantasy either. It’s all a great shame really, but obviously can’t be helped now.

Hasbro has no interest because Hasbro doesn't have the RIGHTS to the Warhammer World. They are going to have to rewrite all the story text in the official expansions for the rerelease. It's not got anything to do with love of the Warhammer Fantasy world.
The Warhammer World itself is a very generic fantasy world, so it can be replaced in broad strokes very easily, and some of the places in are so generically named that they might not need to be changed. If NuHQ comes with a map, it will have to be completely redrawn though (although since the Old World is a loosely-based Europe, only slight adjustments will be needed).
I imagine that the NuHQ world will be as easy to create as it was to change Chaos to Dread, and as such, it's going to be just as easy to reconvert BACK to the Warhammer World.
