Bioware’s Knights of the Old Republic Duology Now Free on Epic Games Store
Ah, Bioware, a company with as many detractors as it has fans. But if there’s one thing that is universally agreed upon, it’s that this veteran developer’s work on the Star Wars franchise was a cut above the rest. And if you’ve never had the chance to play the rightfully fan-favourite Knights of the Old Republic, you’re in luck because both it and its sequel are the latest free releases on the Epic Games Store for mobile!
If you weren’t aware, one of the big pitches that the Sweeney-nator made for the Epic Games Store when it first launched was its free game programme. Essentially, users could sign up, claim free releases and keep them forever. And while it still didn’t sway Steam loyalists over on PC, it may just be a winning move on mobile.
But anyway, Knights of the Old Republic. Set millennia before the events of the films and television series as we know them, you play as a lone Jedi working to thwart the designs of the Sith (as you might expect). Featuring customisable lightsabers, force powers and a variety of distinct companions it’s a fan favourite for a reason!
Use the force, Luke
This, of course, is not the first time that Knights of the Old Republic has found its way to mobile. But considering that release was over a decade ago it’ll be interesting to see if this new Epic Games Store version is cleaned up in any way. However, even if it’s not, a critically acclaimed Bioware duology is one heck of a way to boost this programme.
Now to see if that’ll bring in the players, of course.
