Fortnite's Next Season: "Wanted" - A Heist-Themed Adventure
Epic Games has unveiled the Battle Pass skins for Fortnite's upcoming season, aptly titled "Wanted." This heist-themed season, launching February 21st, promises high-octane action featuring villainous characters, gold-laden vehicles, and explosive bank vaults.

A major highlight is a collaboration with Mortal Kombat, bringing Sub-Zero into the Battle Pass, perfectly complementing the season's theme. This tie-in coincides with the marketing of the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 film.
Skins will be priced at the standard 1,500 V-Bucks each.

Returning weaponry includes the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. Speculation abounds regarding the potential return of other favorites from previous heist-themed seasons, such as the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, the Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler, but these remain unconfirmed.
A game-changing addition is Smart Building, a predictive system that anticipates your building needs based on your aiming direction. The heist theme extends to gameplay mechanics; keycards are replaced by vault breaches requiring Meltanite (a Fortnite equivalent of thermite) to access the loot within.
