Yes, Kevin was always a bit of an enigma, and oftentimes a frustrating one, but he will no doubt be missed. That said, if ever there was a way to go, it’s exploding into an all-encompassing white haze anchored by a giant mystical butterfly.

Unsurprisingly, the event—which took place on Sunday, November 4—shocked and wowed all who were there to witness. Many of the dutiful players who lived through this unknowable splendor hit Twitter with thoughts on the experience.
Some paid loving tribute to Kevin, who first graced Fortnite in his cubital form, this past August.

Others reckoned with the fact that Kevin hasn’t always been the most beloved of elements in Fortnite…

This whole ordeal didn’t exactly make the cube any less mysterious. In fact, people are still trying to figure out its nature.
So let me get this straight
