Fortnite's One-Time Event Sucked Players Into An Different Realm

Fortnite's Halloween event, Fortnitemares, is now over and, as promised, it all culminated in a pretty spectacular event. Developer Epic Games previously said that the unnamed event would be one-time only, and those that were present got to experience something pretty weird. At the center of it all was the mysterious cube affectionately known as Kevin. The cube appeared towards the end of Season 5 and has been a constant presence in Season 6 up until this point.

As part of Fortnitemares, the cube began spawning zombie-like creatures that players had to battle against in the Battle Royale mode. As Fortnitemares came to a close, however, Kevin the cube--suspended in mid-air--began to spin around very quickly, gathering energy and eventually exploding. There was a flash of white light and players in the area were transported into a strange, realm of light.

Players floated in the air and, beneath them, what looked like the veins of this weird light realm collected into the center, which was a well of pearlescent light. Another source of light above began to glow, and eventually the light began to manifest as butterflies made of shards of the light. They landed on players, and a few seconds later everyone was transported back to the island.

Now, the vortex that was in the middle of Loot Lake is no longer there. In its place is a new small landmass where a collection of stones now stand. It looks kind of like Fortnite's version of Stonehenge. Thus far, nothing else seems to have changed in any noticeable way. However, we expect the new area in the middle of Loot Lake holds its fair share of secrets, and Epic will be using it quite a lot in the coming weeks. You can watch the entire event happen in the video above, and check out the screenshots to see it too.

We reckon players will be taking regular trips to the new location as part of Season 6's remaining weekly challenges. Although it's to late to complete the Fortnitemares challenges now, you can still catch up on all the other challenges in the season so far.
