Ever since ol' Kevin the Cube decided to peace out of Fortnite in spectacular fashion, players have been eagerly anticipating the changes his absence might bring. Now, according to leaked patch notes for update version 6.22, it looks like Fortnite may soon play host to its first-ever air-based flying vehicle.

These leaked patch files and data repositories come to us by way of Fortnite: Battle Royale Leaks over on Twitter, who not only found some interesting references to "overhead" data, but actually gave fans a listen to the sound files themselves:

Worth noting is the possibility that the Bumble isn't any sort of flying or air vehicle at all. With that said, at least according to the leaked update files (via FortniteNews), it is most certainly a vehicle of some sort, and ought to be landing in Fortnite very soon.

In addition to information about the Bumble, the latest v6.22 patch notes also indicate the availability of several new cosmetic items, many of which are based on the previously teased NFL uniforms. As reported by FortniteNews, these include the Strong Guard, Spike, Juke, Gridiron, Rush, and Interceptor outfits. Also are among the list are three robot-themed cosmetics, including the A.I.M. skin, E.L.I.M. backpack, and A.X.E pickaxe.

We're still waiting to see what other changes Epic Games has in store now that the purple cube has exploded and left a curious (and, in a way, somber — RIP Kevin) void in its wake.
