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 vans, and explosive bank vaults – all the hallmarks of a high-stakes robbery.
Launching February 21st, the season features a crossover with the iconic Mortal Kombat franchise. Sub-Zero joins the Battle Pass roster, perfectly complementing the heist storyline.
This collaboration cleverly promotes Mortal Kombat 2, the upcoming film starring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage and Adeline Rudolph as Kitana.
Skins will be available for purchase using V-Bucks, with each character priced at 1,500 V-Bucks – no price adjustments this time.

Returning favorites include the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. While other weapons remain unannounced, speculation runs wild, with players hoping for the return of the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, the Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler, based on the previous heist-themed season (Chapter 4 Season 4). These are currently unconfirmed rumors.
A game-changing addition is Smart Building, a feature that anticipates your building needs based on your aiming direction.
The heist theme extends to gameplay mechanics. Keycards are out, replaced by vault breaches requiring Meltanite (Fortnite's version of thermite) to access the loot within.
