This appears to be on the docket according to recent data mines of game files. What’s more is that this vehicle appears to be somewhat unique in the battle royale genre, even when compared to Fortnite’s shopping cart or the water-based vehicle in Black Ops 4. It seems that Apex Legends is set to get a hoverbike at some point in the future, which sounds like a solid option for squads skirting the ring, especially if bigger maps ever do come into play.
For now, it appears that this hoverbike is only actually available to Apex Legends developers, as there is surely a lot of testing and bug squashing involved. It’s also worth mentioning that this could even be dropped by the developers if they do not determine it to be a solid addition to the game, in a fate similar to Titanfall’s iconic mechs or wall-running.
All of this makes it clear that Apex Legends has a lot on its plate, with season one of the battle royale game officially beginning in March. It seems likely that many of the additions listed above come at some point during this season, as well as the teased 9th and 10th characters.
When considering the ambitious plans of Respawn, it seems that Apex Legends is on pace to be the next big thing in gaming, and if manages to pull off the above, then it will likely cement its place in the battle royale genre.
Apex Legends is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
