Monster Hunter Rise fans will be pleased to hear that Capcom has big news to share about the upcoming release.
The new game in the hugely popular franchise has a March release date exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
With the launch date just a couple of months away, Capcom has announced plans to hold a Nintendo Direct-style Monster Hunter Rise live stream over on Twitch.
Fans can tune in to the Monster Hunter Rise broadcast on January 7 at 2pm GMT UK time.
The news was announced by Capcom on Twitter: “Tune into the Monster Hunter Digital Event – January 2021 for big news and reveals on Monster Hunter Rise.”
It’s an intriguing announcement, especially given how much we already know about the upcoming game.
With Capcom promising “big news”, is it possible the game will be announced for platforms other than Nintendo Switch?
Express Online will update this article with all the major announcements once the event is broadcast.
Monster Hunter Rise has been given a March 26 release date exclusively on the Switch.
The game shifts the action to what Capcom describes as the “ninja-inspired land of Kamura Village”.
Players will once again hunt and battle huge creatures, with the end game to defeat a “new and terrifying monster who has reared its head and threatens to plunge the land into chaos”.
One of the most exciting things about the upcoming game is that there will be no loading times between areas.
This should lead to a far more immersive and enjoyable experience, similar to Monster Hunter World.
Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can team up with friends by playing co-op multiplayer over the internet.
There are also new items and gameplay systems, including a wire bug that you can use to create ziplines within the environment and when battling monsters.
Best of all, however, is the ability to play Monster Hunter Rise on TV and on the go thanks to the portability of the Nintendo Switch.
