Breaking from tradition, this season drops codenames entirely—introducing "Wanted" as its official launch title. Prepare for explosive heist action featuring armed criminals, gold-loaded trucks, and destructible bank vaults—everything befitting a high-stakes robbery spree.
Scheduled for February 21, the season includes a groundbreaking crossover with Mortal Kombat, bringing Sub-Zero as a Battle Pass character. The heist motif extends to all new skins.
This partnership coincides with marketing for Mortal Kombat 2, starring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage and Adeline Rudolph as Kitana.
Skins remain priced at 1,500 V-Bucks—Fortnite's premium currency—with no adjustments announced.

Epic confirms the return of fan-favorite weapons including the Flare Gun, C4 charges, and Diplomat turret, though other armaments remain unverified.
Drawing parallels to Chapter 4 Season 4's heist theme, players theorize about potential revivals—EMP Grenades, classic SMGs, Tommy Guns, and possibly Grapplers—though these remain speculative.
One breakthrough feature generating buzz is Smart Building technology, which anticipates structural needs based on aiming direction.
The overhauled heist mechanics replace keycards with thermal breaches. Players must wield Meltanite—Fortnite's thermite counterpart—to crack vaults and secure prizes.
