Sources suggest that the OG Butterfly Live Event will mirror the enchanting elements players experienced in Chapter 1, this time featuring a red butterfly and Kevin the Cube prominently during the proceedings.

Players will find themselves entering a rift dimension engulfed by a Rift Butterfly. Upon interaction with the butterfly, they will be transported back to the island, now dominated by the ominous influence of the red cube’s corruption.

While the exact duration of the event is yet to be confirmed, it is expected to last approximately 10-15 minutes, followed by a brief hotfix aimed at implementing new changes to the current season’s island landscape.
