Epic Games asks Apple to allow Fortnite’s re-release in South Korea after passage of new law

“Fortnite” creator Epic Games has asked iPhone maker Apple to restore its Fortnite developer account and intends to re-release the popular game on iOS in South Korea, offering both Epic and Apple payment side-by-side, it said in a tweet.

“Epic intends to re-release Fortnite on iOS in Korea offering both Epic payment and Apple payment side-by-side in compliance with the new Korean law,” it said.

Legal experts and developers around the world are awaiting a decision in an antitrust case Epic has filed against Apple in a U.S. court.

Epic filed the case last year after it implemented its own in-app payment system in “Fortnite” to avoid Apple’s commissions. Apple told Epic that the move had violated its rules and kicked the game off the App Store.
