The Epic Games Store has just launched its latest free game offering, and it's a big one for Star Wars fans. You can now grab Bioware's critically acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic duology at no cost. This move could be a game-changer in swaying more players to the Epic Games Store, especially on mobile platforms.
Bioware, a developer known for its polarizing yet impactful games, has earned widespread acclaim for its work on the Star Wars franchise. Knights of the Old Republic, set thousands of years before the iconic films and series, lets you step into the shoes of a lone Jedi on a mission to stop the Sith. With customizable lightsabers, force powers, and a diverse cast of companions, it's no wonder this game is a fan favorite.
This isn't the first time Knights of the Old Republic has made its way to mobile devices, but the last release was over a decade ago. It will be fascinating to see if this new version on the Epic Games Store has been updated or enhanced in any way. Regardless, offering such a highly praised Bioware duology for free is a significant boost for the Epic Games Store's free game program.
The Epic Games Store has been known for its strategy of offering free games to attract users, a tactic that has had mixed success on PC but could prove more effective on mobile. Whether this will bring in a new wave of players remains to be seen.
