Despite being a Battle Royale title, Fortnite has maintained a very complex storyline over the years. Every new skin, weapon, and POI released in the game caters to this storyline, and further adds to the curiosity of the players.

Up till now, Fortnite’s plot has primarily revolved around the Zero Point. Ever since Chapter 1, several entities like the Devourer and the Visitor have tried to harness its energy, but have failed to do so.

One such important part of Fortnite’s storyline is Kevin the Cube. The mysterious item first appeared in 2018 and boasted storm-related abilities. Even though players assumed it to be a stationery item at first, Kevin moved to seven locations on the map and corrupted them. Soon after, it settled in Loot Lake and transformed it into a colossal bounce pad.
