Epic Games Store Launches Knights of the Old Republic on iOS and Android

The Epic Games Store has just launched its latest free release, and it's a big one for Star Wars fans. Bioware's critically acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic duology is now available to grab for free on the Epic Games Store for mobile. This move could be a game-changer in swaying more players to the EGS platform.

Bioware, a developer with a passionate fanbase and its fair share of critics, has long been celebrated for its work on the Star Wars franchise. The Knights of the Old Republic series is a prime example of their prowess, earning a dedicated following over the years. If you've yet to experience these fan-favorite titles, now's your chance to dive into the epic saga without spending a dime.

When the Epic Games Store first launched, one of its key attractions was its free game program. Users could sign up, claim free releases, and keep them forever. While this wasn't enough to convert many Steam loyalists on PC, it might just be the winning strategy on mobile devices.

Set thousands of years before the iconic Star Wars films and series, Knights of the Old Republic casts you as a lone Jedi fighting against the sinister plans of the Sith. With customizable lightsabers, force powers, and a diverse cast of companions, it's easy to see why this game has captured the hearts of so many players.

This isn't the first time Knights of the Old Republic has made its way to mobile platforms, but with the last release over a decade ago, it will be fascinating to see if this new Epic Games Store version offers any enhancements. Regardless, a free, critically acclaimed Bioware duology is an incredible addition to the EGS lineup and could significantly boost the platform's appeal.

Only time will tell if this move will attract a new wave of players to the Epic Games Store. In the meantime, if you're looking for something a bit shorter and more bite-sized, why not check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
