Fortnite enthusiasts were left scratching their heads last night as it seemed like the next phase of the ongoing earthquake live event in the popular game was on the verge of commencing.
Despite no major developments in the game yesterday, fans are now eagerly awaiting updates on whether there was a delay and when the anticipated live event will kick off.
The latest update of Fortnite has introduced peculiar earthquakes that have been shaking the Battle Royale island in-game, resulting in noticeable cracks.
Since the onset of these occasional small tremors, players have been left to ponder on the impending outcome.
Trusted game leakers such as FNAssist and Hypex have taken to Twitter to share insights on the cracks and have been diligently monitoring the seismic activity within the game.
According to these dedicated trackers, a total of 46 shakes are predicted to occur in the upcoming days, with some expected to generate new cracks on the island.
They anticipate that shakes numbered 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, and finally 46 will result in the appearance of cracks, followed by the emergence of a Titan Hand after the 46th shake.
Fortnite Titan Hand event start time
After some confusion regarding the precise timing of these shakes last night, here are the latest schedule highlights for when players can anticipate them:
- Shake 9 – 4am UK Time on March 1 / 11pm ET on February 29
- Shake 18 – 1pm UK Time / 8am ET on March 1
- Shake 27 – 10pm UK Time / 5pm ET on March 1
- Shake 36 – 7am UK Time / 2am ET on March 2
- Shake 45 – 4pm UK Time / 11am ET on March 2
- Shake 46 – 5pm UK Time / 12pm ET on March 2
It is speculated that an hour after the final shake, the Titan Hand will emerge, signifying the commencement of the event on March 2, 2024, at 6pm UK Time / 1pm ET.
Leaked footage of the Titan Hand event reveals that players will be tasked with shooting the hand’s chains once it emerges.
Upon depleting the chains’ health meter, the hand is anticipated to release a Pandora’s Box, unleashing a fire tornado in the process.
What unfolds thereafter remains a mystery, but the event is undoubtedly a significant precursor to Chapter 5 Season 2, set to debut on March 8 with an Ancient Greek theme.
Not long ago, a ransomware group made claims of stealing payment details of Fortnite players in an alleged hacker attack on publisher Epic Games.
