On Fortnite, the big finale of Season 5 took place on Wednesday evening, or at least the kickoff for it. The Space Cube has tipped into Loot Lake after days of wandering and has turned the lake purple.
What’s happening? For days, a cosmic cube has been wandering across the Fortnite map. After the Space Cube destroyed a boutique in Tilted Towers earlier today, which the loyal NPC citizens had built on behalf of Epic for months, the cube has now fallen into Loot Lake in the middle of the map.
Fortnite researchers had calculated this location long ago and repeatedly prophesied the arrival of the cube at the lake in the center of the Fortnite map.
This is what happened with the cube: According to eyewitnesses, the Space Cube has fallen into the lake and is now completely submerged.
This has cosmic effects on Loot Lake.
This is what happened to the lake: Loot Lake now has a vibrant color, namely purple.
Moreover, the water has strange properties: Players can now bounce on the lake like on a purple trampoline.
Watch live footage of how the cube merges with the lake
On-site images: Here in a clip from streamer Ninja, a longtime acquaintance of the cube, you can see how the cube disappears into Loot Lake and merges with it.
What this means for players: Right now, this mainly means that you can cross Loot Lake much faster. The lake used to be somewhat of a “dead zone” because it was cumbersome to navigate here. Players usually only came here when the storm left them no choice.
The Space Cube has likely made the location “Loot Lake” in Fortnite significantly more attractive and interesting, but above all, purple.
What’s this all about? By now, it has become a tradition for Fortnite to end its season with a “real-time event” during which the map changes:
- In Season 3, a comet approached the world in Fortnite: Battle Royale
- In Season 4, a countdown counted down the hours and minutes until a rocket launched
- and in Season 5, a cosmic cube is tipping around the map until it disappears in a lake
A completely normal Wednesday evening in Fortnite. We will keep you updated on what else the cube is up to. It is said to bring evil twins of the “lovely skins”. Maybe in Season 6.
