Infinity Blade Trilogy Removed From App Store
By Ford James ·
Epic Games' flagship iOS title, Infinity Blade, has had all three titles removed from the iOS App Store today.
We’ve covered Infinity Blade a lot in the last few days, but this time we’re not talking about the Infinity Blade in Fortnite. As of today, December 10 2018, Infinity Blade is no longer available for purchase in the iOS App Store. This includes all three titles: Infinity Blade, Infinity Blade 2 and Infinity Blade 3. This is also the case for all in-game purchases and microtransactions, though if you’ve previously bought any of the games, you can still play and download them.
The “groundbreaking trilogy” that “took mobile gaming to new heights and pushed Epic Games in new, innovative directions,” has been removed, right as the titular weapon made an appearance in Fortnite.
“At Epic we strive to put players first and to provide a supported, full-fledged experience in every game we publish,” reads the official Epic Games announcement. “With the development of Spyjinx and other projects, it has become increasingly difficult for our team to support the Infinity Blade series at a level that meets our standards.”
Epic Games’ global creative director Donald Mustard said that “The Infinity Blade series will always hold a special place for me personally and for Epic as a whole. It’s always bittersweet to say goodbye, but we are excited for Spyjinx and what the future holds!”
If you are a frequent player of the third game in the series, Epic has said that the game will continue to be supported with “updated Clash Mobs and other surprises,” and that “fans should be sure to check in frequently for special items.” Fans can also now download the Infinity Blade stickers app for free; Epic’s way of saying thank you.
The popular theory is that Infinity Blade will soon see a port to the Nintendo Switch or other consoles, and that the game will continue to appear in Fortnite in various forms. There’s no confirmation from Epic other than saying that we “may find Infinity Blade popping up in places you wouldn’t expect.” Of course, one of those is the sword appearing in Fortnite, but Epic specified places with a plural, so who knows where else we’ll see the game?
In the Fortnite world, check out the details of the patch that released today.
