Capcom Announces Monster Hunter Digital Event for 27th April
Capcom has officially announced a Monster Hunter Digital Event scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 27 April. This livestreamed showcase will focus on two upcoming Monster Hunter titles for the Nintendo Switch: Monster Hunter Rise and Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin (My Nintendo News).
The event promises exciting updates, including the highly anticipated Version 2.0 update for Monster Hunter Rise. This first free post-launch update is expected to introduce new monsters such as Chameleos and Apex Rathalos, among potentially more surprises (My Nintendo News, GamingBolt, CGMagazine). In addition to Rise news, fans will also get the latest details on Monster Hunter Stories 2, which launches this July (My Nintendo News, CGMagazine, GamingBolt).
The stream kicks off at 7 AM PDT (that’s 3 PM UK time), and will be available live on the Monster Hunter channel on Twitch (My Nintendo News, Nintendo Link, Niche Gamer). With simultaneous coverage expected on platforms like YouTube, fans worldwide will have multiple viewing options (GamingBolt, Gamerant, The Gamer).
This digital event arrives at a perfect moment: Monster Hunter Rise continues to captivate players post-launch, while anticipation is building for the narrative-driven Monster Hunter Stories 2, set to release on July 9, 2021 (GamingBolt, GameSpot). Many hope the event will reveal the exact release date for the Rise 2.0 update—and maybe even offer a same-day rollout (Gamerant, GameWith).
Mark your calendars! Head over to Twitch or YouTube on 27 April at 7 AM PDT to catch all the Monster Hunter action. Whether you’re chasing new monsters in Rise or eager for more story in Stories 2, this digital event promises to pack a punch.
