The Epic Games Store's latest free offering is a real treat for Star Wars fans: Bioware's acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic duology! Both the original and its sequel are now available for free on the mobile Epic Games Store.
This move could be a game-changer for the EGS's free game program. Initially launched as a key differentiator for the platform, the program, offering free games that users keep permanently, hasn't fully converted PC gamers from Steam. However, its success on mobile remains to be seen.
Set thousands of years before the familiar Star Wars timeline, Knights of the Old Republic casts you as a Jedi battling the Sith. Customizable lightsabers, Force powers, and diverse companions make this a classic for a reason.
A Forceful Mobile Return
While Knights of the Old Republic has seen a mobile release before (over a decade ago), this Epic Games Store version may offer improvements. Regardless, a critically-acclaimed Bioware RPG duology is a significant addition to the EGS's free game lineup.
Whether this will significantly boost the platform's user base remains to be seen. In the meantime, check out our list of the top five new mobile games this week for more bite-sized gaming options.
