Fun news for Monster Hunter fans as Monster Hunter Rise will be getting a free demo from Capcom to launch later tonight. This morning during a digital event (which you can watch at the bottom) the company outlined what people will be able to experience in the demo, which includes a small selection of monsters both old and new, two small quests, an arena contest, and a training section so you can get your game going long before the actual game arrives. The demo will go live in the Nintendo eShop sometime this evening as a download, but we don't have an estimate on how much space it will take up. Meanwhile, the full game will go live on March 26th, 2021. Here's some more info on what's in the demo along with some screenshots.
