Capcom has just announced that Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (the equivalent of Monster Hunter 4G in Japan) will be coming to the West in early 2015. The title will be released on the 3DS, though we don't know yet if it will be bundled with a Circle Pad Pro accessory.

Monster Hunter 4 expands on the series formula by providing more options for vertical and lateral movement as well as expanded multiplayer gameplay. To learn more, see the announcement below from series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto.
