Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 has finally arrived with a ton of new content that includes weapons, map changes, skins, and more. The theme for the latest season seems to be 'Cubed', and a plethora of Kevin the Cubes were spotted in the Operation: Sky Fire live event and the trailers for the season.

While players love the new Battle Pass and story trailers, the leaked Chapter 2 Season 8 map has failed to create a similar impact.

Here's every map change players can expect in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 map changes

Prominent leaker HYPEX revealed the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 map:

As expected, there are many crash sites on the map following Operation: Sky Fire. Players can find them near the following POIs:

  • Weeping Woods
  • Between Misty Meadows and Lazy Lake
  • Between Holly Hedges and Boney Burbs
  • Between Coral Castle and Pleasent Park
  • Dirty Docks

Several Kevin the Cubes and a gigantic Steve the Cube were also dropped on the map during Operation: Sky Fire. Accordingly, many cube themed landmarks can be spotted on the Chapter 2 Season 8 map.

The biggest Kevin the Cube landmark, that is most probably the mysterious object's origin, can be seen towards the center of the map:

Tilted Towers didn't return in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 map

Prominent leakers had claimed that old POIs from Chapter 1 such as the Tilted Towers would return to Fortnite in Chapter 2 Season 8. Unfortunately, the leaked map image tells a different story.

The map has retained all the POIs from Chapter 2 Season 7, and it is unlikely that Tilted Towers will return any time soon.

Alongside Tilted Towers, players were also expecting a Pyramids POI in the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 map. This would have aligned with the rumored ancient Egyptian theme for the season.

From the looks of it, it appears that Chapter 2 Season 8 will prominently feature Kevin the Cube, and it is unlikely that a Pyramids POI will arrive.

Content creators across Twitch and YouTube such as SypherPK and TypicalGamer also expressed their disappointment over the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 map, as they were certainly expecting many more map changes.
