Fans have been given some very important news when it comes to the upcoming Fortnite cube event.
Following the big Halloween reveals, Fortnitemares Challenges and new skins, Epic Games are finishing off their current run with a bang.
The new Fortnite event will involve the cube doing something big, potentially changing the Fortnite map in major ways.
Lingering rumours of a volcano appearing on the map continue to gain traction, even though Epic Games have not revealed what they have planned.
The most recent event involving the Cube includes it cracking and dropping something into Leaky Lake.
Cracks have been slowly appearing all across it, suggesting a big explosion for the finale of it all.
There are also reports that it could last a long time, perhaps being five minutes in length according to some estimates.
This could also include three fragments of the Cube, although what they will do is hard to say.
WHAT TIME IS THE FORTNITE EVENT?
The ending of the Fortnite Cube Event is part of the completion of Fortnitemares, which has a scheduled end time.
We even know that a one-time in-game event is also being planned, so Fortnite fans know exactly when to tune in.
The Fortnite time is scheduled to begin today Sunday, November 4 at 1PM Eastern Time in the United States.
And for those in the UK, that means things kicking off in-game at around 6pm.
Other big news has also been shared with fans before things kick off and it’s information everyone will want to know.
Fortnite gamers hoping to watch the event will need to avoid trying to watch it via Playground Mode, as this will not be showing the events.
Here’s more from Epic Games, who clarified: “One of our Player Support Team members misspoke in this case.
“The ‘Playground LTM’ will not be a playlist where you could experience this in-game event. We’ve taken steps to make sure that this is clear in the lobby.
“See you Sunday.”
It should be noted that this Fortnite event will happen only once, meaning it won’t be repeated at any time in the future.
It will, of course, be broadcast by most Fortnite streamers on Twitch and be recorded on every platform you use.
A listing on the PlayStation Events page said the upcoming Fortnite live event is called the Fortnitemares Finale and it will last for five minutes.
However, this could simply be a placeholder name – one for that matter which doesn’t reveal much about what will take place.
Thankfully, those wondering what will happen during the Fortnite event have been treated to a major leak.
The Fortnite Battle Royale Leaks Twitter account uncovered in-game files which all seem to relate to the Fortnite event.
These files are for a series of sound effects and have all been labelled with ‘Butterfly’.
File names include mysterious titles such as Butterfly_BuildUp, Butterfly_Transition, Butterfly_Death_Sky and Butterfly_Sequence.
