So, here’s the thing about Fortnite being back on iOS…
It’s like — are you a Star Wars fan? Because if you are, this news just got a whole lot better. Epic finally got Fortnite back on iOS, at least here in the States. Can we pause and just, I dunno, savor that for a second? Anyway — Star Wars gear galore! Emperor Palpatine, Mace Windu, and yep, even Jar Jar Binks. Maybe it’s cringe for some, but hey, I vibe with it.
Remember that whole Apple vs. Epic debacle? Yeah, 2020. Fun times. Fortnite was kicked out of the App Store, yada yada. But Epic’s got the upper hand now, kind of like when you get that perfect sniper shot in a match and totally surprise yourself. Okay, so they won the legal thing, but like a plot twist straight out of nowhere, Apple was like, “Nope, not coming back.” Except, surprise — it is.
Twitter blew up with Epic’s announcement. People were mad thrilled. I scrolled past it while eating a PB&J and nearly choked. In a good way though. It’s wild to think that Apple blocked it despite the court cheering for Epic. Fans? Over the moon. Me? Just here for the chaos.
So now, Fortnite’s returned, lightsaber battles and all. Star Wars peeps are mostly hyped, but let’s not sugarcoat it: some folks grumble about XP and the dreaded grind for cosmetics. I might be one of those people. Guilty.
Oh, and speaking of disputes. Good ol’ SAG-AFTRA is on Epic’s tail for some AI shenanigans. They’ve got AI Darth Vader talking to players and it’s both epic and weirdly unsettling. There are videos out there — and some are just too hilarious. Like, unintentional comedy gold.
Maybe this is just the beginning of Fortnite’s grand comeback on iOS. Could be. Who knows? I might be wrong, but excitement is in the air. That’s something everyone can agree on, right? Except maybe Apple.
