REUTERS: Epic Games launched the new season of hit video game"Fortnite" on Thursday, pitting Marvel super heroes against Fantastic Four-villain Galactus in the first update to exclude iPhone and iPad users due to a legal fight with Apple Inc .

Apple has removed the game from its App Store after Epic Games challenged the company's policy of taking a cut of purchases made inside the app by allowing users to pay Epic directly at a cheaper price. "This is absolutely insane," Tyler Blevins said as he retweeted a trailer video of the game. Known to millions as"Ninja", Blevins is one of the most-followed computer gamers globally."Fortnite" and its early rival, Tencent-backed"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" , popularized an arena-style battle royale survival concept where 100 gamers are dropped onto an island to fight each other to the death.
