Capcom has announced a new digital event for the Switch game Monster Hunter: Rise, promising "big news and reveals." The Digital Event, as it's called, will take place on January 7, starting at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET.

It will be streamed live on Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. There is no word on exactly what will be shown off or discussed, but keep checking back with GameSpot for the latest.

The announcement of this new Digital Event comes not long after producer Ryozo Tsujimoto and director Yasunori Ichinose released a video message to fans to cap off 2020. They thanked fans for their continued support of the series and told fans to expect more news in January 2021.

Monster Hunter: Rise releases on March 26, exclusively for Nintendo Switch. It was previously confirmed that a demo for Rise would be available in January, so it seems likely that the Digital Event will bring some news about that.

Rise is not the only new Monster Hunter game coming in 2021, as Capcom also plans to release Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin in Summer 2021 for Nintendo Switch. The game will have crossover content with Rise.
