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

Bioware, a name that divides gamers as much as it unites them, has once again captured the spotlight with its critically acclaimed work on the Star Wars franchise. If you've yet to experience the fan-favorite Knights of the Old Republic series, now's your chance. The Epic Games Store has just released both Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel for free on mobile!

When Epic Games Store (EGS) launched, one of its key attractions was its free game program. Users could sign up, claim free titles, and keep them forever. While this didn't fully sway PC gamers from Steam, it might be the winning strategy needed to draw in mobile players.

Knights of the Old Republic is set thousands of years before the iconic Star Wars films and series. You step into the shoes of a lone Jedi, battling against the sinister plans of the Sith. With customizable lightsabers, a range of Force powers, and a diverse cast of companions, it's no wonder this game has garnered such a dedicated following.

Use the force, Luke

It's worth noting that Knights of the Old Republic isn't new to mobile platforms. However, with the last mobile release over a decade ago, fans are eager to see if this Epic Games Store version offers any enhancements. Regardless, a free, critically acclaimed Bioware duology is a compelling addition to the Epic Games Store's lineup.

Now, the question remains: will this entice more players to the Epic Games Store? Only time will tell.
