Bioware, a developer known for its polarizing yet impactful games, has once again captured the spotlight with its critically acclaimed Star Wars titles. If you've yet to experience the fan-favorite Knights of the Old Republic duology, now's your chance, as both games are available for free on the Epic Games Store for mobile!
The Epic Games Store, since its inception, has been enticing gamers with its free game program. Tim Sweeney's vision was clear: attract users with free, high-quality games that they can keep forever. While this strategy hasn't fully converted Steam loyalists on PC, it might just be the key to success on mobile platforms.
Set thousands of years before the iconic Star Wars films and TV series, Knights of the Old Republic immerses you in the role of a lone Jedi tasked with thwarting the Sith's sinister plans. With customizable lightsabers, diverse force powers, and a range of unique companions, it's no wonder this game has garnered such a dedicated following.
This isn't the first time Knights of the Old Republic has graced mobile devices, but given the last release was over a decade ago, it'll be fascinating to see if this new Epic Games Store version offers any enhancements. Regardless, the availability of a critically acclaimed Bioware duology at no cost is a significant boost to the Epic Games Store's appeal.
The real question now is whether this move will draw in more mobile gamers. Only time will tell.
