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

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

Bioware, known for its polarizing yet influential games, has garnered unanimous praise for its work on the Star Wars franchise, particularly with the Knights of the Old Republic series. If you've never experienced the iconic adventures of these fan-favorite titles, now is your chance to dive into the galaxy far, far away without spending a dime.

When Epic Games Store first debuted, one of its key attractions was its free game program. Users can sign up, claim the free releases, and keep them indefinitely. While this hasn't significantly shifted PC gamers away from Steam, it might prove to be a compelling draw on mobile platforms.

Knights of the Old Republic, set thousands of years before the events of the Star Wars films and series, lets you step into the shoes of a lone Jedi tasked with stopping the Sith. With customizable lightsabers, powerful force abilities, and a diverse cast of companions, it's no wonder this game has earned its place as a beloved classic.

This isn't the first time Knights of the Old Republic has made its way to mobile, with the initial release happening over a decade ago. It will be interesting to see if the new Epic Games Store version includes any enhancements. Regardless, offering a critically acclaimed Bioware duology for free is a fantastic way to boost the appeal of their program.

The question remains whether this offering will successfully attract more players to the Epic Games Store. Only time will tell. In the meantime, if you're looking for shorter, more bite-sized gaming experiences, why not check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
