Doubtful that Kojima can regain the rights to PT. Konami will withhold that from him forever.
A door is a door, and is not copyrightable or trademarkable because it is too generic. Only a door with very distinctive features, such as the FallOut Vault door, could be claimed. Since the door here is literally just a house interior door, I can't imagine there would be any legal reason Kojima couldn't re-use the design or idea.
If he did regain the rights, it would have been revealed as a "PT" or Silent Hill game.
This is very true. Maybe he wants to recreate some of his ideas with PT without infringing on copyright or trademark. I know he’s made cryptic references to PT before, this might be his way of bringing to life his vision while avoiding legal trouble
