Epic Games has just unveiled the exciting new Battle Pass skins for Fortnite's upcoming season, and they're set to bring a thrilling twist to the game. Dubbed "Wanted," this season promises a high-energy heist theme, complete with gun-toting villains, gold-filled vans, and explosive bank vaults—everything you'd expect from an adrenaline-pumping robbery.

Mark your calendars for February 21, as that's when the season kicks off. A standout feature this season is a collaboration with the iconic fighting franchise, Mortal Kombat. Fans will be thrilled to see Sub-Zero joining the Battle Pass, perfectly complementing the season's heist theme with his icy demeanor and deadly skills.
This collaboration couldn't be more timely, as it coincides with the promotion of the upcoming film, Mortal Kombat 2, featuring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage and Adeline Rudolph as Kitana. The excitement doesn't stop there; skins will be available for purchase using V-Bucks, Fortnite's premium currency, with each character priced at 1,500 V-Bucks, maintaining the usual pricing structure.

Confirmed to return are fan-favorite items like the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. However, other weapons remain under wraps, leaving room for speculation. Some players are hopeful about the return of items from the previous heist-themed season, Chapter 4 Season 4, such as the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler. While these are just rumors at this point, they add an extra layer of anticipation.
One of the most eagerly awaited features is Smart Building, a new mechanic that intuitively predicts the structure you need based on your aim direction, promising to revolutionize the building aspect of the game.
The season's heist theme also introduces a revamped gameplay mechanic, replacing keycards with vault breaches. Players will now need Meltanite, Fortnite's thermite equivalent, to crack open vaults and claim their rewards, adding a thrilling new dimension to the gameplay.
