Today at 7 PM CET, the big and unique in-game event in Fortnite featuring the Space Cube and the flying island will start. The cube is likely to break. We will explain what you need to know to witness the moment of spectacle.
When is the event? The event in Fortnite takes place at 7:00 PM CET. That is 6 PM UTC. Epic has confirmed this once again.
This is what makes it special: The event will only happen once and will probably last only a few minutes. If you miss it, you miss it.
This is how you can watch the event
What will happen? It looks like the cube will burst. It already has cracks and is likely on the verge of being destroyed.
During the last big in-game event, the rocket launch, an event that could be followed in-game started right at 7:00 PM and lasted just a few minutes. One can expect something similar for tonight.
Where should you watch the event? It will likely take place around Loot Lake.
Players should make sure to be in a game at 7 PM to experience the event live.
It is also possible to follow the event via one of the many streams from content creators. We will report on it here on MeinMMO.
Here is the Twitch channel of Ninja:
Cube causes Creative Mode to be unavailable
This has changed in the playlist: For the moment, the “Creative Mode” in Fortnite is disabled. This is a service from Epic, as players would have missed the event in the Creative Mode – hence it was completely removed.
Epic has stated that the cube has taken over the playlist. Currently, only the following game modes are active in Fortnite:
- Solo Nightmares
- Duo Nightmares
- Squad Nightmares
- And a practice tournament in Duo
This will happen at 7:00 PM: At 7 PM, the Halloween event “Nightmares” ends. Players need to complete the special challenges by then to secure their rewards.
The Story of Fortnite
This is what the cube is all about: The cube is part of the overarching storyline of Fortnite, which began in Season 3 and has continued to develop until today. We have already described the exact timeline of the story in Fortnite in detail here.
This is the summary:
- In Season 3, a meteor appeared above the map of Fortnite, which crashed at the end of the season.
- In Season 4, an alien, the Visitor, emerged from the comet. He launched a rocket that shot into the sky of Fortnite. Something fell from space at the same target.
- In Season 5, rifts appeared above the world of Fortnite. A lightning firework summoned a space cube, which then roamed the map and drew runes on the ground. Eventually, the cube fell into Loot Lake.
- In Season 6, a flying island rose with the cube from Loot Lake, which then corrupted areas. Ultimately, the island shattered at the start of Halloween and released the cube and “cube monsters” that caused trouble. Now the cube has cracks and seems to be on the verge of bursting.
This is what happened most recently: Yesterday, the cube developed cracks. A part of the cube liquefied and dripped into Loot Lake (via twitter).
The bursting is likely to be the “one-time” event that takes place today at 7:00 PM for a few minutes.
