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

Returning favorites include the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. While other weapons remain shrouded in mystery, speculation runs rampant amongst 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 standout new feature is Smart Building, a game-changer that anticipates your building needs based on your aiming direction.
The heist theme extends to gameplay, replacing keycards with vault breaches. Players will need Meltanite, a Fortnite equivalent of thermite, to crack open these vaults and claim their rewards.
