The Titan Hand has been built up over the last few days since earthquakes began to plague the Fortnite Chapter 5 map, forming a crater near the Ruined Reels POI (Point of Interest).
According to HYPEX, the event is seemingly set to happen at 2 pm ET on March 2 because that is when the last earthquake is supposed to happen; it would make sense for the hand to emerge with the last set of tremors.
Based on the leak and information provided by HYPEX, the start time and date for the Titan Hand event in Chapter 5 Season 1 across different regions is listed below:
