Helldivers 2 players started a petition calling on developer Arrowhead Game Studios to rehire community manager Spitz. With the recent PlayStation Network account-linking controversy finally at an end, much of the Helldivers 2 community has begun to shift focus back to the Galactic War. However, some fans were still dismayed upon hearing of the recent dismissal of Spitz from the official Discord channel and are doing all they can to gather their fellow players in support of the former community manager.
Epic Announces The Return of Fortnite on The iPad Following EU’s Ruling That Identified iPadOS as a Digital Gatekeeper
30.04.2024 - 06:13 / wccftech.com / Ali Salman
After iOS, the EU has targeted Apple once again with respect to iPadOS, calling it a digital gatekeeper. What this means is that the changes imposed by the EU under the Digital Markets Act for the iPhone will be coming to the iPad. In lieu of recent events, Epic has announced that it will be bringing back Fortnite to the iPad as well.
Fortnite will return to the iPhone and iPad later this year for users residing in the EU
Apple had to comply with the changes imposed by the EU with its iOS 17.4 update. The company is still working on some improvements, which will be available with iOS 17.5 release. The purpose of the new features is to promote fair market practices as Apple has a sustained position in this regard. Ultimately, Apple was forced to allow app sideloading on the iPhone with additional changes oriented towards the App Store and Safari. Now, Epic has announced its plan to bring Fortnite back to the iPhone and iPad under the EU's new ruling.

In a press release, the EU regulatory authorities stated that Apple's iPadOS platform is identified as a digital gatekeeper, similar to iOS. The company was given six months time to comply with the obligations and failing to do so could result in a fine. This made us speculate that iPadOS will follow in the footsteps of iOS when it comes to opening the platform for developers to offer their apps outside of the App Store.
One of the biggest changes implemented on the iPhone with iOS 17.4 is the liberty given to developers to offer alternative app stores with their own payment methods. With iPadOS following the same obligations as iOS, Epic has announced the return of Fortnite and Epic Games Store for the iPad.
Epic Games will introduce Fortnite on the iPhone soon, but the iPad will have to wait until later this year. Note that the changes will only be available in countries that fall under the EU. Apple would have to accept the changes in accordance with the Digital Markets Act. Note that Epic has not shared specific release dates. We are yet to see how Apple responds to the changes and whether it would make it any easier for developers to bring their apps on iOS and iPadOS.

Return to the Pridelands with the first trailer for Mufasa: The Lion King
After the massive success of 2019’s “live-action” Lion King, it only made sense for Disney to explore more of that photorealistic CG world. Instead of adapting the direct-to-home-video sequel The Lion King: Simba’s Pride, or the Disney Junior series The Lion Guard, though, the next movie will delve into the backstory of Simba’s father, Mufasa.
