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

Bioware, a developer with a history as storied as the galaxies they create, has given Star Wars fans something to celebrate. The critically acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic duology is now available for free on the Epic Games Store for mobile, marking a significant addition to their ongoing free game program. This initiative, spearheaded by Epic Games' CEO Tim Sweeney, aims to attract new users by offering high-quality games at no cost, a strategy that has yet to fully convert Steam loyalists on PC but could prove more effective on mobile platforms.

Set thousands of years before the iconic Star Wars films and series, Knights of the Old Republic immerses players in a gripping narrative where they assume the role of a solitary Jedi battling the sinister plans of the Sith. With customizable lightsabers, an array of Force powers, and a diverse cast of companions, this game has earned its place as a fan favorite.

This isn't the first time the Knights of the Old Republic has been available on mobile devices; the original release was over a decade ago. It will be intriguing to see if this new version on the Epic Games Store offers any enhancements or updates. Regardless, the availability of a critically acclaimed Bioware duology for free is a compelling incentive to boost the Epic Games Store's mobile platform.

The question now is whether this offering will attract a significant number of new players to the Epic Games Store. While we wait to see the impact, if you're looking for shorter, more digestible gaming experiences, don't miss our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week.
