Epic Games has unveiled the highly anticipated Battle Pass skins for Fortnite's next season, aptly titled "Wanted." Forget codenames; this season dives straight into the action with a thrilling heist theme. Expect a cast of gun-toting villains, gold-laden getaway vehicles, and explosive bank vault breaches – all the hallmarks of a high-stakes robbery.
Kicking off February 21st, the season features a major crossover with the iconic Mortal Kombat franchise. Sub-Zero himself joins the Battle Pass, perfectly complementing the season's criminal underworld aesthetic.
This collaboration cleverly promotes the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 film, starring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage and Adeline Rudolph as Kitana.
Skins will be available for purchase using V-Bucks, priced at the standard 1,500 V-Bucks per character.

Returning weaponry includes the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. While other weapons remain shrouded in mystery, speculation runs rampant among players. The EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, the Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler are rumored to make a comeback, echoing the previous heist-themed season (Chapter 4 Season 4).
A game-changing addition is the introduction of Smart Building, a feature that anticipates your building needs based on your aiming direction.
The heist theme extends to gameplay mechanics, replacing keycards with vault breaches. Players will need Meltanite, a thermite-like substance, to crack open these vaults and secure their loot.
