The cosmetic’s listed purchase window ended October 1, 2026; the documented weapon appearances were tied to a limited event, and Epic’s announcement does not confirm whether it is currently in rotation.
First, choose which item you mean
| Item | What it does | How Epic described obtaining it |
|---|---|---|
| Keyblade | Kingdom Hearts set pickaxe cosmetic; Epic also says it is included as a back bling with Sora. | Item Shop listing, priced at 800 V-Bucks during its displayed purchase period. |
| Kingdom Key | Match weapon for melee combos and a lightning attack. | Epic described it spawning through the Level Up Override and being granted to players during scheduled Power Hours. |
These are separate shop and match items. Buying the Keyblade cosmetic does not unlock the Kingdom Key weapon.

How to get the Keyblade pickaxe
Epic’s official Keyblade listing showed a price of 800 V-Bucks and said it could be purchased until October 1, 2026 at 12:00 AM local time (GMT+00:00). That purchase window has passed as of October 7, 2026, so the listing does not establish that the item can be bought now.
- Open Fortnite and check the in-game Item Shop for the Keyblade listing.
- If it is available, review the displayed price and purchase options before confirming the transaction.
- If it is absent, wait for a possible shop return. Epic has not announced a return date in the cited listing.
How to get the Kingdom Key weapon in a match
Epic’s September 17, 2026 announcement said the Level Up Override spawned a Mythic Kingdom Key for each squad member at their current location. The announcement also scheduled Power Hours on September 19, 2026, when all players started with the Kingdom Key and Sea-Salt Ice Cream: 2–4 PM ET and 9–11 PM ET.

Those Power Hours are past, and the announcement does not verify that Level Up Override or the weapon remains available in the current mode. Check the live mode’s rules and match information; if the relevant mode or mechanic is not active, the cited announcement provides no current acquisition route. Epic described the weapon this way: “Wield the Kingdom Key to unleash a flurry of melee combos, and call down a shocking bolt on your opponents.”
