Bioware's Knights of the Old Republic Now on iOS and Android via Epic Games Store

The Epic Games Store has just launched its latest free game offer, and it's a big one for Star Wars fans. 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 be a game-changer for Epic, potentially swaying more players to use their platform.

Bioware has had its share of ups and downs, but their work on the Star Wars franchise, particularly the Knights of the Old Republic series, is widely celebrated. If you've never experienced these iconic games, now is your chance to dive in without spending a dime. Set thousands of years before the events of the Star Wars films and series, you take on the role of a lone Jedi fighting against the Sith. With customizable lightsabers, force powers, and a diverse cast of companions, it's easy to see why this game is a fan favorite.

This isn't the first time Knights of the Old Republic has made its way to mobile, but given that the last release was over a decade ago, it will be interesting to see if this new Epic Games Store version offers any improvements. Even without enhancements, the availability of a critically acclaimed Bioware duology for free is a significant boost to Epic's game program.

The question now is whether this will attract more players to the Epic Games Store. While the free game program didn't initially sway Steam loyalists on PC, it might just be the key to success on mobile platforms.
