We just recently learned that Capcom had some big reveals lined up for the Monster Hunter series in the month of January alongside the upcoming Monster Hunter Rise demo on Nintendo Switch, but it would appear those reveals are coming far sooner than expected. The Monster Hunter developers have followed up to share that a livestream is coming this week to show off a host of news and reveals about the game.

Capcom revealed the upcoming Monster Hunter Rise livestream even via the Monster Hunter Twitter on January 5, 2020. On January 7, 2021 at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET, the developers will go live on the Monster Hunter Twitch channel to showcase a wealth of news and reveals focused on Monster Hunter Rise. This follows up on the previous promise that news and details were coming this month, alongside the release of a playable demo for the Nintendo Switch. It seems Monster Hunter Rise will be the entire focus of this particular event with nothing for spinoff title Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin available at this time.
