A new Fortnite leak has spoiled some big upcoming surprises that Epic Games seems to have in the works for players of the free-to-play PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile battle royale game. Epic Games rarely surprises players with content, as everything leaks in advance while the content is being worked on, courtesy of the game’s files. And that’s exactly what happened again.
In going through the files from the game’s recent update, dataminer FNBRUnreleased noted that both Ballers and Hoverboards, two vehicles not currently in the game, have been updated, suggesting work is being done on it, and this of course suggests that they will come back sometime in the near future.

In addition to Ballers and Hoverboards, Epic Games has also updated golf cart files, another favorite vehicle we haven’t seen in a while. Again, does this mean golf carts return? Not necessarily, but it’s also unclear why these particular files are updated differently.

For now, the above leaks leave a lot of room for speculation. While the evidence suggests that all three of these vehicles are returning, the files do not indicate when they will return. If they are really working on getting them back and living in the game, you would assume their return is sooner rather than later, but for now this is just speculation. And when they return, let’s hope it’s not fueled.
Fortnite is available for free on the PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch, PC and mobile devices. For more information on the popular and free to play Battle Royale game, click here or check out the relevant links below:
