Respawn Entertainment’s first entry into the battle royale genre officially released on Monday, February 4, and has been an instant hit with fans, with the game hitting 25 million total players after its first week available.
While fans have raved about the game since launch, it seems that Respawn aren’t entirely content with the current state of the game, and will be introducing a new vehicle into the mix.
Apex Legends may have a new vehicle to use in the near future.Currently, the only vehicle that players can gain access to in the game is the Supply Ship that hovers above the map, but can only obtain loot from it and cannot actually use it to travel around King’s Canyon.
Now, a data miner, known as ApexGameInfo, has found evidence of a ‘Hoverbike’ that has been introduced to the game for developers, but not yet made available to the general player base.
Very little is known about the upcoming vehicle, the file does mention their spawn and the physics to go along with them, so it’s likely that the items aren’t far away from being ready to release.
LEAK:
It seems like an “Hoverbike” is in the making and is only available to developers at the moment!

However, more files pertaining to the Hoverbike also suggest that it is still in the development stage, with a number of ‘to do’s’ still outstanding.

The Hoverbike would be the first vehicle of its kind in Apex Legends, with the Launch Balloons that allow players to redeploy their jetpacks and fly to a new location being the closest thing to a vehicle in the game at the moment.
There is currently no expected release date for the Hoverbike, and as with any leaks, there is no guarantee that the item will ever be made available to the public.
