Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2: Mortal Kombat Crossover Launches Feb 21

Epic Games has officially unveiled the exciting new Battle Pass skins for Fortnite's upcoming season, which promises to deliver an adrenaline-pumping experience centered around heists. Dubbed "Wanted," this season skips the traditional codename and jumps straight to its action-packed title. Players can look forward to engaging with gun-toting villains, gold-filled vans, and explosive bank vaults, fully immersing themselves in the high-octane world of heists.

Set to kick off on February 21, this season will feature a thrilling collaboration with the iconic fighting game series, Mortal Kombat. Fans will be thrilled to see Sub-Zero joining the Battle Pass lineup, perfectly complementing the season's heist theme through intricately designed skins.

This partnership is strategically timed to coincide with the promotion of the much-anticipated Mortal Kombat 2 movie, featuring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage and Adeline Rudolph as Kitana. The new skins will be available for purchase using V-Bucks, Fortnite's premium currency, with each character priced at 1,500 V-Bucks, maintaining the standard pricing model.

Among the confirmed returning items are the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret, adding to the excitement. While other weapons remain under wraps, speculation abounds about the possible return of favorites from the previous heist-themed season, Chapter 4 Season 4. Rumors suggest the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler might make a comeback, though these are yet to be confirmed.

A standout feature of the new season is Smart Building, an innovative mechanic that predicts the structure players need based on their aiming direction, enhancing the strategic depth of the game. Additionally, the heist theme introduces a revamped gameplay element, replacing keycards with vault breaches. Players will now use Meltanite, Fortnite's version of thermite, to crack open vaults and secure their rewards.
