Epic secured a last-minute temporary restraining order late Monday evening to protect the business in the short term, but the fate of the Unreal Engine is still up in the air — endangering an entire ecosystem of third-party tools that rely on the engine.
And as Epic and Apple settle in for years of legal warfare, those sorts of projects are likely to be disrupted too.
The engine is also how Epic builds its own games, including Fortnite and past major hits like Gears of War and Unreal Tournament. The court has restrained Apple from revoking that account for the next few weeks, but it remains to be seen whether it will keep the account protected for the full duration of the trial.
A temporary injunction hearing to settle the matter is scheduled for September 28th. But the longer-term implications could be disastrous, especially for iOS game developers. This most likely would mean Unreal-based games would break eventually in future versions of iOS and macOS, and Epic would be unable to do anything about it.

For companies that are also building smaller, less graphics-intensive projects — like indie games — that can be ported to multiple platforms, the lack of iOS support for Unreal Engine would be a deal-breaker.
