Epic Games Store Mobile Launches Bioware's Knights of the Old Republic on iOS, Android

Bioware, a name that stirs both admiration and critique in the gaming community, has left an indelible mark on the Star Wars franchise with its critically acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic duology. If you've yet to explore these fan-favorite titles, now's your chance to grab them for free on the Epic Games Store for mobile.

When Epic Games Store launched, one of its key attractions was its free game program, spearheaded by CEO Tim Sweeney. This initiative allows users to sign up, claim free releases, and keep them indefinitely. While it hasn't fully converted Steam loyalists on PC, it could be the ace up Epic's sleeve for mobile gaming.

Knights of the Old Republic transports players millennia before the events of the Star Wars films and TV series. You step into the shoes of a lone Jedi striving to thwart the sinister plans of the Sith. With customizable lightsabers, an array of force powers, and a cast of unique companions, it's no wonder this game has garnered such a dedicated following.

This isn't the first time Knights of the Old Republic has graced mobile platforms, with the initial release occurring over a decade ago. It will be fascinating to see if this Epic Games Store version offers any enhancements. Regardless, offering a critically acclaimed Bioware duology for free is a powerful move to boost the platform's appeal.

The real test will be whether this enticing offer can draw in more players to the Epic Games Store on mobile. In the meantime, if you're seeking shorter, more bite-sized gaming experiences, don't miss our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week.
