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

The Epic Games Store has launched its latest free release, and it's a big one for Star Wars fans. You can now grab Bioware's critically acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic duology for free on the Epic Games Store for mobile! Bioware, known for its polarizing yet impactful games, has truly outdone itself with this legendary series. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the franchise, this is your chance to experience one of the best Star Wars games ever made at no cost.

When the Epic Games Store first debuted, CEO Tim Sweeney emphasized its free game program as a major attraction. This initiative allows users to sign up, claim free games, and keep them forever. While it hasn't fully converted Steam loyalists on PC, this move could be a game-changer for mobile gaming.

Knights of the Old Republic is set thousands of years before the familiar Star Wars saga, where you play as a lone Jedi striving to stop the Sith's evil plans. With customizable lightsabers, force powers, and a diverse array of companions, it's no wonder this game is a fan favorite.

This isn't the first time Knights of the Old Republic has been available on mobile, but it's been over a decade since its last release. It'll be fascinating to see if this new Epic Games Store version comes with any enhancements. Regardless, offering a critically acclaimed Bioware duology for free is a powerful way to boost their program's appeal.

The real test will be whether this free offering can attract more players to the Epic Games Store. In the meantime, if you're looking for shorter, more bite-sized gaming experiences, check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week.
