Capcom has revealed a new expanded edition of the behemothic 3DS exclusive Monster Hunter 4 - and confirmed that it will be released in Europe.

Monster Hunter 4 was released on 3DS in Japan last autumn, and has sold over 3 million units. The announcement of an enhanced edition was all but a formality for the lucrative franchise, but European gamers will be pleased to hear that Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is confirmed for a western release.

Whilst it will launch in Japan later this year, the rest of us will have to wait until early 2015 for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.

Series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto recorded this message for fans.
