Telltale Games Removed From App Store Following iOS 9 Release
Apple’s latest iOS update, iOS 9, is causing problems for developers and publishers. Capcom has had to pull Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (likely permanently) and Ghost Trick (temporarily) from the storefront. The Metal Gear Solid V companion app is also currently non-functional on the operating system.
Telltale is facing similar issues with the iOS versions of its games. A search of the App store reveals Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands are still listed, but both seasons of The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, Back to the Future and Jurassic Park appear to be absent.
We’ve reached out to Telltale for comment on when these might be restored. We also inquired whether the games are still available for download for owners during the downtime, or if they’ve been fully delisted for now. We’ll update when we receive a response.

Our Take
These problems are becoming more pronounced with every iOS update. Developers and publishers seem to have been caught off guard by the latest firmware changes. Hopefully, the affected games across the storefront will be repaired and restored quickly.
