Knights of the Old Republic Hits Mobile via Epic Games Store

The Epic Games Store is giving away another fantastic free game! This time, it's BioWare's acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic duology, available for mobile devices. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the Star Wars universe, this is a must-grab.

One of the Epic Games Store's key selling points since its launch has been its free game program. Players can claim these free titles and keep them permanently. While this hasn't fully converted PC gamers from Steam, it could prove a significant draw on mobile.

Knights of the Old Republic takes place thousands of years before the familiar Star Wars films and shows. You play as a Jedi, battling the Sith and wielding customizable lightsabers and Force powers. The game's diverse companions and compelling story are key reasons for its enduring popularity.

This isn't the first mobile port of Knights of the Old Republic, but this Epic Games Store release offers a fresh opportunity to experience this classic. Even without significant updates, a critically acclaimed BioWare duology is a powerful addition to any free game program.

It remains to be seen whether this will attract a significant number of new players to the Epic Games Store's mobile platform.
