Will Fortnite Season 4 come on iOS App Store?

There is no doubt that Apple vs Epic Games has affected many players who used to enjoy Fortnite on iOS App Store platform. Currently, the two organisations have taken their dispute to court. Epic Games in its recent Fortnite Blog revealed that App Store charges 30% tax for in-app purchases which not only affects game app's earning but it also affecting the effective and reasonable pricing that players can be benefitted from. So, according to Epic, it is fighting a battle against "Tart Tycoon" (a character introduced in #FreeFortnite event) to bring a reasonable pricing structure for its community in iOS platform.

However, as the game developer is releasing the new Fortnite update, it has confirmed that iOS community will not be receiving any update because Apple has blocked them from updating their apps on the App Store platform. Epic Games also revealed that Apple's iOS App Store will also terminate their ability to develop their Fortnite game application. This means players who are expecting a Fortnite Season 4 update will not be receiving it because of the Fortnite ban by Apple or at least till the legal battle finds its suitable end.
