It's been quite a sorry tale, the legal battle over ownership of the name Edge, which previously caused the award-winning iPhone game to be pulled from the App Store voluntarily until the legal bods had sorted themselves out.

But the game has once again been removed, and according to Cult of Mac, developer Mobigame hasn't been informed why.

"We did not pull it. We don't know exactly why it has been pulled [and] we don't know if the game will come back," explains Mobigame's David Papazian. "Maybe it will in some territories, but it does not depend on us. We are as surprised as many people, I think."

Presumably the culprit for the game's removal is once again the legal team at the heel of video game striver Tim Langdell (pictured), though the precise details – other than an empty shelf on the App Store – are thus far unknown.
