Apple says it has terminated the developer account that Epic Games used to publish and update App Store games.

The move means Epic games like mobile RPG Battle Breakers are no longer available for download on the iOS App Store, sharing the same fate Fortnite has faced for weeks now. Users that have previously downloaded defunct Epic Games titles like Infinity Blade will still be able to play them, but they can no longer be re-downloaded or make use of any previously available in-app purchases.

Epic's iOS app updates are also cut off, meaning iOS Fortnite players are stuck without access to the Marvel-themed content that was recently added to the game. Fortnite players on iOS are also currently unable to enjoy crossplay with players using the latest version on other platforms.
