Epic Games has unveiled the next Fortnite season's Battle Pass, officially titled "Wanted." This heist-themed season promises high-stakes robberies, featuring armed villains, gold-laden vehicles, and explosive bank vaults.

Launching February 21st, the season will include a crossover with Mortal Kombat, bringing Sub-Zero into the Battle Pass lineup. This collaboration complements the marketing for the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 film.

The familiar V-Bucks system remains unchanged, with each character priced at 1,500 V-Bucks.

Returning weaponry includes the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. Speculation abounds regarding the potential return of other weapons from previous heist-themed seasons, such as the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, the Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler, but these are currently unconfirmed.

A significant addition is the Smart Building mechanic, anticipating player constructions based on aiming direction. Gameplay mechanics have also been updated, replacing keycards with vault breaches requiring Meltanite (a thermite-like substance) to access rewards.
