Corruption Cubes (or Kevin, nicknamed by the community) are purple version of Cubes that first appeared in Season 5. They are sentient beings born from The Last Reality with malicious intent to corrupt everything.

Description and Lore[]

Corruption Cube is a sentient entity that appeared first on August 24, 2018, during Season 5. It appeared near Paradise Palms, being created from several lightning strikes from the Sideways Rift, closing it in the process. The Cube is an object of immense power, as it was capable of destroying objects in its path as it rolled towards Loot Lake, printing powerful runes which reduced gravity, and generated Cube Monsters from its fragments.

The Cubes are the power sources of The Last Reality, an evil and malicious faction affiliated with the The Sideways with an intention to corrupt and destroy realities. The Cubes are all controlled by The Cube Queen. Thousands of dormant cubes are stored in a dedicated room in the Motherships, used to power the gigantic alien ships.

It has taken several forms, but has spent most time as a large purple cube, which deflects bullets, and hurts players who attempt to go near it. After killing the Storm King, a cube emerges in a lake and it begins to dissolve similar to how it did during Season 5, indicating the Cube was the Storm King.

History[]

Season 5[]

Cube Spawn - Event - Fortnite — Birth of the Cube

As the Sideways Rift continued to rapidly close up, it suddenly turned purple. Within the next few days, purple storm lightning bolts began shooting out of the crack, all targeting a hill near Paradise Palms, containing a large stone rock surrounded by a ring of cacti. Each lightning strike picked off one cacti one-by-one, until a larger lightning bolt destroyed the large rock. The Crack Closure event occurred on 24th August 2018, with a gigantic storm lightning bolt striking out of the rift, lasting for around 10 seconds. When it was over, the Crack in the Sky closed. then The Cube was formed. Though it first appeared to be a stationary object, it began to move at a rate of one revolution every 1 hour and 43 minutes. It was unclear where it would end up. During its journey around the map, The Cube printed seven runes with anti-gravity domes surrounding. Throughout the final three weeks of Season 5, the cube continued to print these runes.

After finishing this process, The Cube destroyed one of the buildings in Tilted Towers. The sporting goods store was hit by a meteorite and was just in the final stages of reopening. The Cube then proceeded to the edge of Loot Lake on September 19, 2018. The Cube appeared to dissolve, turning Loot Lake in a purple-pink gelatinous state with properties akin to The Cube itself, such as becoming bouncy.

Season 6[]

Floating Island - Unnamed Location - Fortnite — The Floating Island

With the beginning of Season 6, it was revealed that The Cube was still intact, as it rose from the waters, taking the cabin and island in the center of the lake with it, forming the Floating Island. This created a large hole in the lake exposing the bridge to The Zero Point, a vortex in the middle. After just two days of the island rising, The Cube began to move the island to each of the runes it had printed in Season 5. After getting energy from all runes, they dropped to the ground and the island returned to Loot Lake. A portal to The Last Reality was formed above, which began to expand until it covered the entire island. On October 24, 2018, the first day of Fortnitemares 2018, The Cube exploded the floating island into multiple pieces, the Cube still intact. Following the explosion, The Cube fragments that had been growing on the island had been sent all over the map, which released The Cube monsters.

From this day until November 4. The Cube began to crack. On November 3, it began to drip its nectar into The Zero Point, until the final drip. On November 4, 2018, The Cube started to spin rapidly, which led to a white flash, and The Cube splitting apart. After the flash, players were teleported to The In-Between. Shortly after, a rift formed, and took shape of a butterfly, which then multiplied, and came to every player still alive. A cut-scene showed up, where the player put out their finger, and the butterfly would land on the finger, and it got teleported back to the map through a rift. Leaky Lake appears to be completely new, and the Cube Monsters were gone.

Season 7[]

During Ice Storm event, The Ice King uses a small shard of the Cube to summon Ice Legion and freeze the island in order to stop Polar Peak from melting.

Season X[]

Floating Island (September 3rd 2019) - Unnamed Location - Fortnite — Season X Floating Island

The Floating Island from an alternate timeline came through a Rift Beacon. it didn't do anything after that except circle the island aimlessly. Later in the season, Cube memorials appeared at Loot Lake and on the mountain Kevin was created.

Chapter 2: Season 1[]

Following The End of Athena and the creation of Apollo, The Floating Island was destroyed, but The Cube was conserved. Following the reconstruction of the island by The Zero Point, it was placed into a dormant state and underneath Building 2 of Steamy Stacks, a power station which uses The Cube to generate electricity. The facility is run by Kevolution Energy.

Chapter 2: Season 6[]

Spire Artifact - Screenshot - Fortnite — The Spire Artifact

The Spire Artifact is a small piece of the Spire's core, it emits Cube's runes. The Spire's core was originally made of chromium, how it got corrupted is unknown. Seeing visions of the future in his dreams, Raz ended up on the island after years and years of research, and got too close to The Spire Artifact only to make him corrupted with new powers. The Last Reality notice his power and arrives at the island.

Chapter 2: Season 7[]

Inside of the Mothership with Kevins - Operation Sky Fire - Fortnite — Entire Family of Cubes

During the Operation: Sky Fire live event, The Last Reality was revealed to have possessed a corruption cube in one of its rooms. After Doctor Slone deactivates it using Alien Backpack and arms the bombs, she betrays the loopers by sealing them in with the cube. The Loopers reboot it, turning it blue, which causes the room to rise up into a chamber containing thousands of dormant corruption cubes stored inside with a golden cube at the center. After the bombs detonate, the mothership is destroyed, and debris and cubes rain down onto the map, causing devastation.

Chapter 2: Season 8[]

There are the multiple Corruption Cubes scattered throughout Apollo following the destruction of The Mothership. There were five purple cubes spread across the island at the beginning of season, along with one more hidden under Steamy Stacks. When the cubes (and any of their "spawn") move around the map, the corruption from their energy spreads around the island with them. There used to be 38 Cubes on the map, including the Gold and Blue ones. Now, only two "full" cubes remain, those being, ironically, the Gold and Blue ones, with the rest being fused into The Convergence.

On October 19th 2021, 3:55 AM EST, all the cubes moved for one final time before downtime began for Update v18.21.
