A Giant Cube Has Appeared in Fortnite Battle Royale
By Zac Cameron ·
It looks as though the weird and wacky changes to the map in Fortnite: Battle Royale haven't stopped appearing, with a new giant purple cube arriving on a mountaintop.
We’ve seen some wacky things during Season Five in Fortnite: Battle Royale, with changes to the map and costumes from different worlds all converging to make things just a little bit more interesting. Well, it seems as though the changes haven’t stopped coming, with a brand-new addition making its arrival earlier today.
We’ve seen some strange lightning strikes for a little while now, though so far, the best advice has just been to make sure you aren’t in the line of fire. The lightning has been increasing however, and we’ve even seen the odd purple lightning bolt strike out and leave a nasty scorch mark.

Now, it looks as though the lightning strikes were a herald to something more, with a giant purple cube appearing where the purple lightning struck.

At this stage, it’s unclear what the purple cube means, and why it has appeared, but it does react in interesting ways. If you land on or climb the cube, you’ll be sent flying, and strange symbols frequently appear on the sides, with odd noises coming from the cube. Is this a harbinger to something else? Will Fortnite be invaded from another dimension? We’ll update this with more information as it comes in.
