While there’s still no release date for the update yet, a leak shared by HYPEX on Twitter showed a new surfboard vehicle that’s expected to come out next season. There were no other details about the surfboard, but some gamers were already comparing it to thehoverboard fromFortnite: Save the World.
ManyFortniteplayers seemed excited about the surfboard, while others expressed their skepticism. The latter claimed that leakers have hinted at the vehicle in the past, but it never arrived in the game. There’s still no confirmation from Epic Games' end about the vehicle and other possible summer content for this year as well, so players should definitely take the leak with a grain of salt for now. Nonetheless, they can still look forward to eye-catching cosmetics and skins this summer, just likelast year’s No Sweat update, whatever they might be.
There have been several iconicFortnitevehicles that many players have grown to love throughout the years. Each ride would have varying levels of difficulty to drive in-game, but players still found them fun and handy to use. Unfortunately, many of them would get vaulted or scrapped to make way for newer vehicles. One fan-favorite ride that made its comeback afterFortnite’s recent update was theTrail Thrasher Dirt Bike. In the past, the game also featured cars in collaboration withRocket Leagueand premium brands like Ferrari.
WithFortnite’s spacious map design, riding a vehicle of any kind would help players to get around and run away from opponents easier. For now, players can enjoy zipping around using the Omni-Directional Maneuver Gear with theirMikasa Ackerman skin.
