Epic Games has just unveiled the thrilling new Battle Pass skins for the upcoming season of Fortnite, titled "Wanted."

Mark your calendars for February 21, as that's when the action kicks off. Adding to the excitement, Fortnite is teaming up with the iconic fighting game series, Mortal Kombat. Fans can look forward to seeing Sub-Zero as part of the Battle Pass, with the heist theme seamlessly integrated into his skin design.

This collaboration is perfectly timed with the release of the upcoming film, Mortal Kombat 2, featuring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage and Adeline Rudolph as Kitana. The skins in the Battle Pass will be available for purchase using V-Bucks, Fortnite's premium currency, with each character priced at 1,500 V-Bucks, consistent with previous seasons.

Returning to the fray are fan-favorite items like the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. While other weapons remain under wraps, speculation is rife about the possible return of items from the last heist-themed season, such as the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, Tommy Gun, and the Grappler. Keep in mind, these are just rumors for now.

A standout feature of the new season is Smart Building, an innovative mechanic that predicts the structures you need based on your aiming direction, enhancing your gameplay experience.

The heist theme also introduces a fresh gameplay element: replacing keycards with vault breaches. Players will now use Meltanite, Fortnite’s equivalent of thermite, to crack open vaults and secure their rewards, adding a new layer of strategy to the game.
