While it's true that every season of Fortnite expands the lore of the popular battle royale game exponentially, it can be argued that the ongoing Chapter 2 Season 8 has done some particularly heavy lifting in the story department. Following the alien invasion that dominated the game during the preceding season, Epic Games has focused primarily on exploring the Cube-shaped entities that have been haunting players for years. Alongside their physical return to the map, the pulsating inter-dimensional shapes have subsequently been accompanied by explanations for their origins, motivations, and even societal structure.
