Many popular conspiracy theories suggest that aliens built the Pyramids in Egypt. From the looks of it, Fortnite might dig deeper into this theory with an Egyptian Chapter 2 - Season 8 theme.

Also, the leaked Cube POI will most likely feature Kevin the Cube. Kevin's return has been teased for a very long time now. Through the Rift Tour event and surveys, Epic Games has hinted at the topic on several occasions.

Lastly, the Crash Site POI might show the Mothership UFO from Chapter 2 - Season 7.

If the aforementioned POIs arrive in Fortnite with Chapter 2 - Season 8, it will certainly be a delight for players who love the ancient history of Egypt.

Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 8 theme might revolve around Halloween

While many players want Fortnite to have an Egyptian theme, others feel that the game should be spookier than ever in Chapter 2 - Season 8.

Halloween is always a massive event in Fortnite as it marks the annual return of Fortnitemares. According to HYPEX, a Mummy outfit may be in the works for the next season. If true, this Mummy outfit will definitely match well with a Halloween theme.

According to @HYPEX next Season we may be getting a Mummy Outfit!He also mentioned a few Landmarks we could see in Season 8, such as:-Crash Site-Pyramid-Cubes

'The Sideways' mechanic was also leaked recently. Just like The Upside Down in Stranger Things, it will act as a portal for monsters to enter the Fortnite universe.

Having said that, it is still a mystery if The Sideways will cater to a Halloween theme or an ancient Egyptian theme in Fortnite.

All in all, the Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 8 theme will either be ancient Egypt or Halloween. All the leaked map changes and gameplay mechanics interestingly hint toward both these ideas, and it is hard to be sure about any one of them at the moment.
