Epic Games has unveiled the exciting new Battle Pass skins for Fortnite's next season: Wanted. Forgoing the usual codename, this season dives headfirst into a thrilling heist theme, complete with gun-toting villains, gold-filled getaway vans, and explosive bank vault action.

Kicking off February 21st, Wanted features a major collaboration with the iconic Mortal Kombat franchise. Sub-Zero himself joins the Battle Pass, perfectly complementing the season's robbery-focused aesthetic. This collaboration cleverly ties into 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, with each character priced at 1,500 V-Bucks—no price changes from previous seasons.

Returning favorites include the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. While other weapons remain unannounced, speculation is rife amongst players, with many hoping for the return of the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, the Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler, based on the similar heist theme of Chapter 4 Season 4. However, these are currently unconfirmed.
A highly anticipated addition is Smart Building, a game-changer that predicts your building needs based on your aiming direction.
The heist theme extends to gameplay mechanics, replacing keycards with vault breaches. Players will need Meltanite, Fortnite's equivalent of thermite, to crack open these vaults and claim their loot.
