Epic Games has just unveiled the exciting new Battle Pass skins for Fortnite's upcoming season, and fans are buzzing with anticipation.

Launching on February 21, the season introduces a groundbreaking collaboration with the iconic fighting franchise, Mortal Kombat. Fans will be thrilled to see Sub-Zero making his debut in the Battle Pass, perfectly complementing the season's heist motif through its unique skin designs.
This collaboration is strategically timed with the promotion of the upcoming film, Mortal Kombat 2, featuring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage and Adeline Rudolph as Kitana. The skins for this season can be purchased using V-Bucks, Fortnite's premium currency, with each character priced at the usual 1,500 V-Bucks.

The return of fan-favorite items such as the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret has been confirmed, though other weapons remain under wraps. Speculation is rife among the community, with many hoping for the return of classic items from the previous heist-themed season, Chapter 4 Season 4, such as the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, Tommy Gun, and the Grappler. However, these are just rumors at this point.
One of the most eagerly awaited features of this season is Smart Building, an innovative mechanic that predicts the structure you need based on your aim direction, enhancing the building experience like never before.
The heist theme also introduces a revamped gameplay mechanic, replacing traditional keycards with vault breaches. Players will now use Meltanite, Fortnite's thermite equivalent, to crack open vaults and claim their well-deserved rewards.
