Fortnite – Who is the Cube Queen and What’s her mission?

The Cube Queen, a mysterious, powerful entity, who many other villains revere, just arrived on Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 8. It seems like her mission is to send all lives on the island to extinction.

As we all know, every season of Fortnite comes with some tweaks, additions and extra tales added to the Battle Royale storyline, but in the case of Chapter 2, Season 8, Epic Games has taken the storytelling to a height that we all didn’t imagine. Some mysterious aliens invaded the island in the previous season, dominated the entire map, and wrecked lots of havoc against the players. In this Chapter 2, Season 8, Epic Games is centering a whole bunch of gameplays around these cube-shaped monsters that have been the player’s nightmare over the years.

Who is the Cube Queen?

This time around, they aren’t just invading the map as some unknown alien; they’ve come in an organized societal structure, and Epic Games have provided an explanation for their origin and grand mission. Ever since the introduction of a new map on Fortnite’s battle royale mode, one of the prevailing themes of the game has been a fierce battle between different factions as they struggle to seize control of the shifting area.

In Chapter 2, Season 2, the grand monarch to whom all the cubed monsters bow has personally swung into action. Bearing the honourable title “Cube Queen,” this fierce lioness isn’t only dreaded for her might on the battlefield. She also has a cruel past lurking behind her, haunting everyone whose path she crosses and fueling her plans for the future of the battle royale island.

The Story of the Cube Queen

The cubed monsters first appeared on the battle royale island in 2018 during the Fortnite original 5th season. Ever since, just like the community named Kevin, these monsters have been a dangerous challenge that players have had to deal with on the island.
Towards the end of the game’s alien-themed adventure, the Cubed Legion was ordered to once again invade the map on an operation codenamed Sky Fire. Emerging from the Sideways dimension and shimmering with a purple hue, these cubed monsters had a magnificent golden cube rolling down behind them as they rallied towards the center of the map.

On approaching their destination, the cubes gathered to form a castle-like structure called The Convergence. And then from the golden object emanated the Cube Queen— a lustrous fierce-looking humanoid entity with curved silvery horns, and shimmering orb on her temple and a bunch of power-wielding metals orbiting behind her, pulled along by the power of her presence.

Just like every society with a social structure, The Cube Legion regards the Cube Queen as their leader and Empress. All the Cubes, Cube Assassin, zombie-like Cube Fiends, the entire Kevin community and Caretakers belong to her dynasty. It was she who sent Kevin on their destructive mission on the island, and she also had a role to play in almost all disasters that have occurred on Fortnite over the years.

At first, many believed that the cubes only wanted to take control of the Zero Point, but now reality has set in. The battle line is drawn and it has become glaring that the Cube Queen’s mission is to destroy every single life on the island.

Judging from the Queen’s song, which players can unlock, it looks like the Legion isn’t alien to achieving this kind of incredible feat. The song infers that they had done it before. Hence they could do it again on this island. Although a considerable part of the gameplay now revolves around the Cube Queen, there are still many explanations that Fortnite needs to reveal about her lore in the coming weeks.

Over the years, a long list of monarchs has appeared on the map to execute one mission or the other. We also expect that the Cube Queen’s story would be linked to these other monarchs that have graced the map in the past, especially the Storm King boss. There are widespread speculations that we’d be getting Fortnite Chapter 3 this December. If these speculations hold any water, we should expect the Queen to achieve victory in her quest as soon as she moves away from her stationary position.

How to Unlock and Play the Cube Queen

One fun aspect of the Cube Queen is that just like other characters that have graced the game, fans can also assess her and use her to boost their battle royale faceoffs. Apart from arriving on the map as a part of the ongoing story and battles, the Cube Queen is also meant to be unveiled as the latest secret skin.

Although it is easier to unlock the Cube Queen than other secret skins we’ve seen in the past, only players who have invested in the current Battle Pass can open and play her. You just have to complete some simple challenges, and you’d be able to get the Queen and her entire cosmetics into your item collection. All you have to do are:

  • Survive five storm circles while fighting with a Sideways weapon, and you’ll get the Cube Queen’s Skin.
  • Shakedown two opponents to get the Queen’s court loading screen
  • Use your Sideways minigun to eliminate an opponent to get the last cube standing emoticon.
  • Phase with a Flopper or Shadow Stone for three seconds to get the last reality matrix back bling
  • Complete all the quests the Cube Queen assigned on Page 1 to get the obliterator style of the Cube Queen skin.
  • Next, you have to aim to get the Islandbane style of the Cube Queen skin. This is how to do it.
  • Use the sideways riffle to get some accurate headshots to unlock the Queen’s anthem music pack.
  • To get the Queen’s Procession Glider, you have to glide in the smokestacks at Steamy Stacks
  • Finally, after you have completed all the Cube Queen’s tasks on page 2, you’ll get the Islandbane style of the Cube Queen.
