Capcom announced yesterday Monster Hunter: Dynamic Hunting for iPhone and iPod Touch. The game is slated for release next month, though no specific date was mentioned.

Players will control their character(s) via tapping and sliding on the touch screen. Rather than move your character via a virtual D-pad, you’ll navigate simply by sliding your finger to the left or right of the screen, which may suggest a 2D gameplay plane – Capcom hasn’t offered too many specifics on the actual adventure portions of the game. Players can attack by tapping monsters, guard by tapping the screen with two fingers, and dodge by sliding two fingers to the left or right. Capcom says, “The result is an effortless control scheme that takes full advantage of the device’s touch screen.”

Though the press release was light on details, they do mention “epic encounters” and “titanic beasts.” Look for your mobile Monster Hunter fix when it his iOS sometime next month.
