It seems like everyone has been watchingFortnite’s mystery cube, dubbed Kevin by some, for quite some time. The cube first appeared in season 5, created runes during its battle island tour, dissolved into Loot Lake, turned the island into a floating island, absorbed runes, and aided theFortnitemares event. Some feel as if the time of the cube should come to an end, and that appears to be what is happening.
On July 11, 2025, small cracks began to form around the edges of Kevin which spread exponentially the next day. Clearly, this is building up to something, with many believing this could be the end of the on-going cube-related events. While anything could happen inFortnite, it’s worth mentioning that the cube’s destruction has been predicted for quite some time.

One of themost popular theoriesthat proved to be hit-or-miss with season 5 suggested that the cube would explode. With the spreading cracks, it seems that this could be a real possibility now. Check out the cracking cube and leaked explosion art below:
Now, it’s worth mentioning that the explosion was just theorized and should therefore be taken with a grain of salt. After all, it’s uncertain what would become of the cube when the cracks eventually become too severe. Nevertheless, the only one in the know is Epic Games, and it isn’t likely to spill the beans anytime soon.
In the meantime,Fortniteplayers still have a lot to do on the battle island, whether it’s finishing theFortnitemaresevent challenges or finding theseason 6 week 5 hidden battle star. Regardless of what’s to come, players should likely expect Epic Games to live up to its reputation of interesting events and on-going support, as season 6 is officially at the midway point.
