The latest Fortnite update delivers Part 2 of the K-pop Demon Hunters event, expanding one of the year’s biggest collaborations with new skins, emotes, quests, and story developments that tie into both the cube island mystery and the next Fortnitemares event.
The Red Cube and the Zero Point Connection
Part 2 picks up after the chaos of the Demon Rush mode and introduces a critical plot twist — the red cube has returned. It’s been spotted at Loot Lake, melting just like in Chapter 1, before transforming the cube island once again. Players have noticed it activating nearby runes and expanding in size, signaling that the island’s energy is becoming unstable.
Epic Games is setting up a full crossover event where the red cube’s reactivation connects to the Zero Point vault. According to in-game dialogue, Hope and Jones are preparing to store the Zero Point shard, but the cube’s interference could lead to another massive island reset. The upcoming unvaulting event, just days before Chapter 7, might cause the entire Battle Royale island to collapse.
OXR, Bugs, and Dr. Theodore Fisby’s Warning
Elsewhere, the bug invasion storyline has shifted dramatically. While it appears the OXR faction has wiped out the bugs, Dr. Theodore Fisby at Supernova Academy claims otherwise. He warns that “something higher up the food chain” is coming — a dark presence linked to the underworld.
This sets up the next major villain, the Mother of Thorns, who is hinted to be the same entity behind the red cube’s return. The demon-hunting K-pop heroes, led by Huntrix, are preparing for this supernatural threat. The dark presence’s influence mirrors last year’s Mephisto crossover, but this time, the danger seems even greater.
New Skins, Emotes, and NPC Secrets
Part 2 of the Fortnite K-pop Demon Hunters collab introduces long-requested additions, including new NPCs and a continuation of the Huntrix storyline. Players can now encounter Huntrix, Roomie, and Meera around the island — each with unique interactions.
Roomie, a half-demon character from the original film, teases the Saja Boys in her dialogue, suggesting they might soon arrive as playable skins. Epic is also releasing a “How It’s Done” Icon Series emote featuring the group’s hit song, along with a new “Golden” emote referencing their film performance.
Players can complete new secret quests, such as finding the Demon Hunters’ couch at Owl Oasis, which rewards XP and hints at upcoming cosmetics. Capturing flags at Demon Hunter locations now grants bonus XP, and NPCs like Meera can be recruited to fight alongside players.
Fortnite Festival and What’s Next for Demon Hunters
Fortnite Festival’s next season is expected to feature a full K-pop theme, with references appearing across the island and on Fortnite’s social channels. A post referencing “Pen, Pineapple, Apple, Pen” suggests a broader K-pop crossover beyond the Demon Hunters, possibly expanding into Fortnite Festival playlists.
Meanwhile, teasers around Shogun Solitude and Supernova Academy hint at a major showdown with the Mother of Thorns as part of this year’s Fortnitemares storyline. The Demon Hunters, their new emotes, and evolving island events all appear to be leading directly into that event’s reveal.
Part 2 cements the K-pop Demon Hunters crossover as one of Fortnite’s most ambitious collaborations yet, blending lore, pop culture, and evolving live events into a unified narrative experience.
