The free trial kicks off just a few days ahead of a new Monster Hunter Digital Event stream, which will showcase more of Rise's upcoming Sunbreak DLC. That expansion is slated to launch for both Nintendo Switch and PC this summer, and will introduce a wealth of new content to the game, including a new storyline and additional monsters to hunt.
The Monster Hunter Digital Event airs on Tuesday, Mar. 15, at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET. The broadcast will be streamed on the official Monster Hunter Twitch channel and will run for approximately 20 minutes.
