Epic Games Store mobile brings Bioware classic Knights of the Old Republic to iOS and Android

The Epic Games Store's latest free offering is a real game-changer: BioWare's acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic duology! This is a fantastic opportunity to experience this classic Star Wars RPG, available for free on mobile via the Epic Games Store.

One of the Epic Games Store's key selling points since its launch has been its free game program. Players can claim free titles and keep them permanently. While this hasn't fully converted PC gamers from Steam, its potential impact on the mobile market remains to be seen.

Knights of the Old Republic takes place millennia before the familiar Star Wars films and shows. Players embody a Jedi tasked with foiling a Sith plot. With customizable lightsabers, Force powers, and a diverse cast of companions, it's easy to see why this remains a fan favorite.

A Forceful Return to Mobile

While Knights of the Old Republic has previously been released on mobile, this Epic Games Store version offers a fresh chance to play, especially given the time that has passed since the last mobile iteration. Improvements are possible, but regardless, a critically-acclaimed BioWare duology is a significant addition to the Epic Games Store's free game program.

Whether this will attract a large player base remains to be seen. However, in the meantime, if you're looking for shorter, more concise gaming experiences, check out our list of the top five new mobile games this week!
