Bioware, a name that evokes strong opinions across the gaming community, yet it's undeniable that their contribution to the Star Wars universe stands out. Now, fans and newcomers alike have a golden opportunity to dive into the critically acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic duology, available for free on the Epic Games Store for mobile devices. This latest free release from the Epic Games Store underscores their ongoing strategy to attract gamers with high-quality titles at no cost.
When the Epic Games Store first launched, CEO Tim Sweeney highlighted the allure of their free game program. By allowing users to sign up, claim free games, and keep them indefinitely, the store aimed to draw in new users. Although this hasn't significantly shifted loyalties away from Steam on PC, it could be a game-changer on mobile platforms.
Knights of the Old Republic, set thousands of years before the iconic Star Wars films and series, places you in the role of a solitary Jedi fighting against the sinister plans of the Sith. With customizable lightsabers, powerful Force abilities, and a diverse cast of companions, it's no wonder this game has garnered such a devoted following.
This isn't the first time Knights of the Old Republic has made its way to mobile devices. However, with the last mobile release dating back over a decade, it will be intriguing to see if the new Epic Games Store version brings any enhancements. Regardless, offering a critically acclaimed Bioware duology for free is a compelling move to bolster their mobile gaming initiative.
The real question now is whether this will attract a significant number of players to the Epic Games Store on mobile. While we wait to see the impact, if you're in the mood for something quicker and more bite-sized, why not explore our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
