Set your alarm to witness the Fortnite Titan Hand event!

The secret is out, and a Titan Hand has started to make its way from beneath the surface of Fortnite's current Chapter 5 Season 1 map. Over the next few days, the Titan Hand will emerge and create chaos across the landscape as Fortnite heads toward Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. Although a cinematic event is not expected, this mini-event transitions to the Greek Mythology-themed season.

Join us as we track the Fortnite Titan Hand and provide a rough countdown ahead of the live event.

When is the Fortnite Titan Hand live event?

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 event begins in

According to Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR, the live event is expected to begin on Saturday, March 2, at either 1 p.m. or 2 p.m. ET. This information should give you a rough idea of when to queue into a match to participate in the mini-event. Opening Fortnite and being ready at least one hour before the event starts is always safe. This way, your chance of encountering queue issues is minimal.

WARNING: POTENTIAL EVENT SPOILERS ARE AHEAD!!!

What can I expect during the Fortnite live event 2024?

Based on the intel that has come to light per Fortnite leaker HYPEX, the Titan Hand will surface holding what is referred to as "Pandora's Box." Players will then shoot the chains holding up the box until it falls and opens, causing tornadoes, thunder, and earthquakes.

That covers all we know about the Fortnite hand event thus far, but we will be sure to update that post with anything further.
