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 offering, and it's a big one for Star Wars fans. You can now grab Bioware's critically acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic duology at no cost. This move could potentially sway more gamers to try out the Epic Games Store on mobile.

Bioware, a developer known for its polarizing yet impactful games, has earned widespread acclaim for its work on the Star Wars franchise. The Knights of the Old Republic series, in particular, stands out as a fan favorite. If you've never experienced these iconic games, now's your chance to dive into this epic saga for free on the Epic Games Store for mobile.

When the Epic Games Store first 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 initially convert many Steam loyalists on PC, it might prove to be a game-changer on mobile platforms.

Set thousands of years before the events of the Star Wars films and series, Knights of the Old Republic lets you step into the shoes of a lone Jedi fighting against the Sith. With customizable lightsabers, force powers, and a diverse cast of companions, it's no wonder this game has captured the hearts of so many fans.

This isn't the first time Knights of the Old Republic has made its way to mobile devices, but the last release was over a decade ago. It will be interesting to see if this new version on the Epic Games Store has been updated or enhanced in any way. Regardless, offering a critically acclaimed Bioware duology for free is a powerful incentive to boost the Epic Games Store's mobile program.

The real question now is whether this will attract more players to the platform. While we wait to see the impact, if you're looking for something a bit shorter and more casual, why not check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
