How the Storm King is related to Kevin the Cube in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8

Up until Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8, players were unaware of the Golden Cube and Blevin besides Kevin. All three cubes are located on the map now, and the connection between them is still a mystery.

Interestingly, Storm King is often defined as the embodiment of cubes. Even in the Rift Tour event, it was self-evident that his body was full of crystals (cubes), and Cube monsters even surrounded him.

Considering that the latest Fortnite season is all about cubes, it won't be a surprise if the Storm King returns. The ultimate showdown between him, the Cubes, IO, Dr. Slone, and the Foundation could be the perfect plot for an upcoming live event.
