Everything that happened in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8

The Cubes, Sideways, Dr. Slone, and a mysterious Queen pretty much sums up everything that players need to know about Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8. The season started with Dr. Slone taking a piece of alien tech from the aftermath and setting forth on a journey with an IO convoy.

It took players weeks to figure out where Dr. Slone was headed before she finally reached the **Redacted** Bunker. This was one of the most exciting moments in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8. Players finally witnessed the secret bunker being opened, months after it first appeared.

Dr. Slone decided to set up her base and hatch her plans from the secret bunker in Fortnite. However, it was certainly a bit of a disappointment, because players expected much more from the grand reveal.

Golden, Blue, and Kevin the Cube in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8

Players were already familiar with Kevin the Cube in Fortnite. Therefore, when the cube appeared in Chapter 2 Season 8, players were extremely happy. The nostalgia was accompanied by two new cubes- a blue one and a yellow one.

Trouble began when the purple and the yellow cubes started circling the map. After a few slow movements, the cubes started interacting with each other, giving birth to newer and smaller purple cubes. This was the start of the spread of the Corruption in Fortnite that has slowly spread across the map.

The cubes finally reached the center of the map and met at the Convergence. Here, they started transforming into the Cube Pyramid in Fortnite, which will be complete by the time the season ends.
