Fortnite 'The End' live event map: Cube Pyramid, Guava Fort, Corruption, and more

The most noticeable change coming to the map is the Corruption. Right before the Fortnite live event, the Corruption will be in its final stage and cover most of the map. Apart from the few coastal POIs, almost all the other major POIs are going to turn purple and orange, including the trees and rivers.

Another major highlight of the live event map is going to be the Fortnite Cube Pyramid. The pyramid at the center of the map is yet not complete, but will be ready in time for the 'The End' event, when the Cube Queen will finally unleash her wrath.

Players and the IO are collectively working on completing the Guava Fort in Fortnite. This is possibly going to be the island's final effort at stopping the Cube Queen, and the Fort should be complete by the time the live event goes down.
