Well, currently Kaneki is under the belief that Hide is dead. But we've been shown that Kaneki is not exactly a reliable narrator, with memory issues and inconsistent recollections. So we don't know what will happen.

But we've gotten hints and indications that Hide may return to the story. Marude mentioned that Hide tipped him off about something concerning the Washuus, with no content of when that happened. And it sounds like Amon may have started to say "Nagachika" when he woke up in his pod in Lab 4.

Something is going on there. It's just that Kaneki, currently, is operating under the belief Hide is gone forever.
