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

The Epic Games Store's latest free game offering is a real treat for Star Wars fans: BioWare's acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic duology! Both the original and its sequel are now available for free on mobile via the Epic Games Store.

This generous giveaway is a continuation of the Epic Games Store's strategy to attract users with free games, a tactic that has proven successful in boosting its mobile presence, even if it hasn't fully converted PC gamers from Steam.

Knights of the Old Republic, set thousands of years before the familiar Star Wars timeline, casts you as a Jedi battling the Sith. The game features customizable lightsabers, Force powers, and a diverse cast of companions, making it a beloved classic.

May the Force Be With You

While Knights of the Old Republic has seen previous mobile releases, this Epic Games Store version offers a fresh opportunity to experience this critically-acclaimed duology. Whether or not this updated port features improvements remains to be seen, but the sheer value of offering two such highly-rated games is a significant boost to the Epic Games Store's free game program.

Only time will tell if this generous offer will significantly impact player numbers.
