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

Bioware, a name that stirs both admiration and critique in equal measure, has consistently delivered standout titles, and their work on the Star Wars franchise stands out as particularly exceptional. If you've yet to experience the acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic duology, now's your chance—thanks to the Epic Games Store's latest free release for mobile devices!

When Epic Games Store first launched, one of its key attractions was its free game program. Users could sign up, claim free games, and keep them forever. While this hasn't significantly swayed Steam loyalists on PC, it might just prove to be a game-changer on mobile platforms.

Knights of the Old Republic transports you to a time thousands of years before the iconic Star Wars films and series. As a lone Jedi, your mission is to thwart the nefarious plans of the Sith. With customizable lightsabers, an array of Force powers, and a cast of unique companions, it's no surprise this game is a fan favorite.

This isn't the first time Knights of the Old Republic has made its way to mobile devices, with the initial release occurring over a decade ago. It'll be intriguing to see if this new version from the Epic Games Store has been polished. Regardless, offering a critically acclaimed Bioware duology for free is a powerful incentive to boost their program.

Now, it remains to be seen if this move will attract new players to the platform. In the meantime, if you're looking for something more bite-sized, don't miss our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week!
