Wizards of the Coast is releasing an updated version of the Player's Handbook in 2024.
In their most recent playtest the Pact of the Blade Warlock was overhauled.
Many of the features of Hexblade were rolled right in to pact of the blade.
Much like the special weapon attacks that were introduced in EA, the changes to Pact of the Blade are likely based off Wizard's of the Coast playtest material.
Do you have a link? I would like to read about it.

You need a free membership at D&D Beyond to download the Playtest materials.
I've copied and pasted some of the salient features below.

Quote
PACT WEAPON
Tracing arcane sigils in the air, you conjure a Simple or Martial melee weapon of your choice in your outstretched hand, or you create a bond with a magic weapon you touch. The weapon you conjure or touch must lack the Heavy property, and this fails if you touch a magic item that is attuned to someone else.

The weapon grants you the following benefits:

Eldritch Warrior When you attack with the weapon, you can use your spellcasting ability modifier for the attack and damage rolls, instead of using Strength or Dexterity. Proficiency. You have proficiency with the
weapon.
Returning Weapon If the weapon has the Thrown property, the weapon returns to your hand immediately after hitting or missing a target.

When you reach 5th level as a Warlock, you gain the Extra Attack feature forthe conjured or magic weapon only. With that feature, you can attack twice with the weapon, instead of once, when you take the Attack action on your turn.
