Fortnite’s cube just got weirder – why is Kevin pulsating and where are the runes going?
The mysterious purple cube is pulsating strangely, and is making a new noise
FORTNITE'S purple cube just keeps getting weirder now it has finished retracing its own steps.
It appeared out of nowhere, rolled around the map, then destroyed Loot Lake and lifted a house there into the air before carrying it back along the path it had come.
It completed that stage of its journey last night when it activated the final rune it had earlier left burned into the ground, and now things are getting very strange.
Not only is the cube pulsating with a bright purple glow, and making a new weird sound, but the runes themselves have started moving of their own accord.
As spotted by they are not even moving up at the same rate.
Puzzled? So are we. But at least there are week four challenges to keep your mind off the bigger picture.
What is the Fortnite purple cube and when did it appear?
The start of Fortnite season five introduced players to temporal rifts which, as the season progressed, culminated into a large purple storm manifesting from a rift in the desert.
On August 24, 2018, the lightning resulted in the appearance of a mysterious purple cube, that gives off residual energy that can cause harm to players if messed around with.
However, then the cube started to move and fans online have figured out that the cube would roll for just one turn, roughly every two hours.
It eventually laid out a pattern of runes around the map before essentially destroying Loot Lake and lifting the house in the middle of it up into the sky.
Since then it's moved the house back along that same path and activating the runes, with the final one being activated late last night.

Now they have all been activated, the seem to be taking on a life of their own.
They are lifting out of the ground by themselves, taking chunks of earth with them.
Where they're going, nobody knows...
