‘Fortnite’ Chapter 2 ends with a slain queen and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson saving the day - Get2Gaming

The standards for Fortnite’s chapter have been raised with a new battle and a blockbuster guest appearance

After the battle royale mode’s trademark island got sucked into a black hole in 2019, the game went dark and blank, returning online a day and a half later with a brand new island and a fresh story to tell.

Fortnite is offline again with Chapter Two’s conclusion, but the Season 8-capping event nonetheless gives us plenty to talk about now.

The event started out by dropping all players at the distant outskirts of Cube Town, a central map station. The fully playable opening section of the event armed everyone with guns and limitless ammo to take on increasingly numerous and deadly forces led by Season 8’s chief antagonist, the Cube Queen, while her pizza-pie-shaped UFO armada hung in the sky overhead.

After fighting against the Queen’s forces for a while, an extended cutscene will play in which a central Fortnite character Agent Jones, is about to be executed by Doctor Slone, another key player in the ongoing story. However, with the entrance of The Rock, those plans come to a halt.

Yes, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has officially joined the cast of Fortnite. Season 8’s finale introduced him as a mysterious armored figure known as The Foundation, and it is very probable that he will play a critical role in the story that lies ahead. It’s The Foundation who barges in and saves Jones. He’s also seemingly leading the charge against the Queen, with a brazen plan to flip over Fortnite’s entire battle royale island onto her head.

That’s where the event ended. Fortnite is officially offline now, and it would most likely be back online by the end of the weekend. And when it returns, whatever’s next for Epic’s imaginative battle royale will be waiting. If

We won’t know for sure until Fortnite is back, though. For now, all you’ll see if you open the game is a bird’s eye view of a vast ocean bed, and a small figure in the middle floating on what looks like a piece of driftwood.
