Blast Off

Blast Off was the first live event in Fortnite ever. The Visitor tried to escape the island, but failed miserably. In the process, his rocket suffered a lot of damage and passed through several rifts.

If the rocket had touched the Zero Point, a massive explosion would have taken place. Regardless, the Blast Off led to many unusual events on the island as many POIs and objects started to appear and disappear.

Kevin the Cube played an important part in the Butterfly event. When Kevin exploded, players were teleported to the In-Between and it seemed like the island had been destroyed.

As per popular theories, Singularity had saved the island and loopers from extinction during the Butterfly event. She somehow contained the cube's energy and restored normalcy.

The Device

The Device live event was about Midas' genius plan to escape the Fortnite loop once and for all. The Doomsday device was even able to push the storm back, but Agent Jonesy and the I.O. stopped it.

Following the live event, a Wall of Water spawned on the island that nearly destroyed it. Even in Chapter 2 Season 8, players hope that Midas returns and takes his revenge.

At the moment, the Fortnite island is still struggling to survive amidst the war between the Cube Queen and Dr. Slone. A live event might take place towards the end of the season, as leaks have revealed that it could be the beginning of Chapter 3.
