Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate for Nintendo 3DS has become the first game in the series to ship over 1 million units across Europe and North America combined, Capcom has announced.

The figure includes copies shipped to stores and sales made digitally across the eShop.

The publisher says it used many activities to drive interest in the game, including downloads of trial games for first-time users and the regular release of free downloadable content. The game’s launch also coincided with the release of the New Nintendo 3DS.

In celebration of the 1 million milestone, Capcom is giving away a free Nintendo 3DS Home menu theme which will be available for download from the Theme Shop in May.

To date the franchise has sold more than 32 million units worldwide.
