Shamisen — common questions
When was Shamisen last in the item shop?
Shamisen was last seen in the Fortnite item shop on 6 May 2026. We've recorded 8 appearances since we began tracking the shop on 5 August 2026.
How much does Shamisen cost?
We don't have a recorded price for Shamisen. We only know an item's price from days it has appeared in the shop while we were tracking it, and this pickaxe hasn't.
Can you still get Shamisen?
Most Fortnite cosmetics return to the item shop on rotation, but Epic doesn't publish a schedule and some items — battle pass rewards and promotional items in particular — never come back. There's no reliable way to tell in advance which category any given pickaxe falls into.
What set is Shamisen part of?
Shamisen is part of the Takara set. Items in a set are usually released together and often return to the shop together, though Epic sometimes rotates them individually.
