Fortnite’s map is continually evolving – we’ve had rockets, meteors, and most recently a giant purple cube (nicknamed Kevin) which spent several weeks rolling over the grassy hills of Lazy Links. Having transformed Loot Lake into a millennial version of the Wizard of Oz, the cube seems to have reached the next phase of its transformation stage, as Fortnite’s floating island is starting to look a little – well – different.
You may recall the island’s house used to only have giant purple crystals in the basement, but in the past days some cubist tendrils have wormed their way up the walls. They’re indestructible and cover both the inside and outside of the house, and there’s an ominous smoky haze emanating from within. It kind of looks like the Minecraft Nether has invaded Fortnite – what a collaboration that would be.
Along with the purple growths, the cube itself – previously positioned underneath the floating island – has begun to change. As spotted by zAmaz_ on Reddit, it’s currently emitting a pulsating light, while the runes that previously decorated the object have mysteriously disappeared. Strange indeed.
