Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 is dubbed Cubed, after the cube that powered the aliens crash lands on the island. Watch the cinematic intro below.
Here is what Epic has to say about Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8:
A New War Takes Shape
After the Alien Mothership’s destruction, the Cubes that powered it crash-landed on the Island. They’ve begun spreading corruption, as well as portals to the dark, monster-filled “Sideways.” Fight for the survival of the Island… before it’s too late.
Cross into The Sideways
You’ll encounter a new location ensnared by The Sideways each match, or come across Sideways Anomalies, gateways that will pull you in if you get too close. Once pulled in, defeat waves of Cube Monsters for Sideways Weapons and special crafting ingredients. The rules are different in this mysterious world: gravity is low and building is non-existent.
Fortnite Power Up Your Weapons
Power Up Your Weapons
While defeating the Cube Monsters, open up Sideways Chests to acquire weapons from that world, like the Sideways Rifle and Sideways Minigun. You’ll deal bonus damage by revving them to their superpowered state! Use Cube Monster Parts from defeated monsters to upgrade them, then take them with you towards a Victory Royale.
Direct the War Effort
To fight back against the Cubes, the Island’s survivors need your help. Work together with the entire Fortnite community to build Turret Stations, to decide which new weapons to bring to the Island, which favorites to unvault, and more throughout the Season.
Paint Your Very Own Toona Fish
Wanting to show his creativity in an increasingly cubical world, Toona Fish is ready to go beyond black-and-white. With the Chapter 2 Season 8 Battle Pass, you’re able to unlock the free-spirited Toona Fish. Collect Color Bottles and Rainbow Ink throughout the Season and color him your way!
