Golden Cube might introduce deserts and Pyramids to Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8

Prominent Fortnite leakers were expecting Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 to have a Pyramid-themed POI. Surprisingly, there was no hint of such a location on the map on September 13.

The lack of map changes has disappointed the Fortnite community, but many believe that the map will gradually change with the movement of the cubes.

The Golden Cube will most likely start moving and turn everything in its path to sand. Concept artworks by Fortnite players have showcased that this could possibly lead to the formation of a new POI called Party Pyramids.

All in all, it would certainly make for a visual treat if the Golden Cube did end up creating Pyramids and a desert on the Fortnite island. As of now, it seems that players will just have to patiently wait for the mysterious objects to change their positions.
