Capcom unleashing Monster Hunter: Dynamic Hunting on iOS devices next month
The world of Monster Hunter will spread to another platform in June, franchise creator Capcom has announced. Monster Hunter: Dynamic Hunting is in development for iOS devices and will offer a "new intuitive control system...eschewing the typical D-pad" -- i.e., finger swipes and taps. It all looks a bit Infinity Blade-ish to us.
That's it for details, though more are sure to be revealed at next month's E3 ... just in time for the game to leap onto the App Store.%Gallery-123967%
