The PlayStation Store has once again given us a peek at upcoming surprises in video games. This time it's a hint at what's to come in Fortnite season 3.

Found online by Twitter user @Lucas7yoshii, the imagery looks to be the new game tile for Fortnite once season 3 goes live on June 12. It features the Battle Bus flying over a large body of water, suggesting the map is getting a new watery update. 

This leak corroborates earlier hints from Epic Games which included new posters being hung up around the Salty Sands region in-game. They depicted flood conditions as well, and this latest leak all but confirms that the map is, in some part, about to sink into the ocean.

Season 3 of Fortnite is currently scheduled for June 12 on all platforms following an eight-day delay that bumped it out of the June 4 window originally scheduled.

The PlayStation Store has been a recent source of similar leaks. Earlier this year, Resident Evil 3 was leaked via a store tile much like this Fortnite leak. More recently, the PlayStation Store spilled the beans about Star Wars Prject Maverick, the presumed working title for EA Motive's upcoming Star Wars game, seemingly built around space combat mechanics. That reveal was rumored to occur today, but it's quite likely EA has shifted plans following the ongoing protests of police brutality.

Fortnite is hosting a one-off event this weekend cryptically called "The Device," which will likely act as the narrative lead-in to the new season. Players still have a few days to wrap up their battle pass and challenges for season 2's spy-themed cosmetics before we all literally dive into season 3.
