Fortnite: floating ice orb hints at new in-game event and Week 7 Battle Star location

A blue orb is floating above Polar Peak in Fortnite and it looks like the Ice King is plotting something.

Fortnite player @lucas7yoshi_ revealed that the Ice King is casually floating in the blue orb that appeared over Polar Peak yesterday. He’s holding what looks like a small, rotating cube, so Kevin the Cube might be making a comeback after all.
