KOTOR Hits Mobile on Epic Games Store

• The Epic Games Store has launched its newest free game promotion.
• Claim BioWare's critically acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic duology for free.
• Can this popular program convince more players to use the EGS?

BioWare is a developer with as many critics as dedicated fans. However, one point of near-universal agreement is the studio's exceptional work within the Star Wars universe. If you've never experienced the beloved Knights of the Old Republic, now is your chance. Both the original and its sequel are currently free to claim on the Epic Games Store for mobile.

When the Epic Games Store first launched, one of Tim Sweeney's key promises was a consistent free game program. Users can sign up, claim titles at no cost, and keep them permanently. While this hasn't significantly shifted loyal PC gamers from Steam, it could prove to be a successful strategy in the mobile market.

Returning to Knights of the Old Republic: the game is set thousands of years before the familiar films and TV shows. You take on the role of a Jedi striving to counter the plans of the Sith Empire. With customizable lightsabers, Force abilities, and a memorable cast of companions, it's easy to see why this title remains a fan favorite.

This isn't the first time Knights of the Old Republic has been available on mobile. However, since that initial release was over ten years ago, many are curious to see if this Epic Games Store version includes any visual or performance improvements. Even without upgrades, offering such a highly praised duo of RPGs is a strong incentive to draw attention to the store's free offerings.

It remains to be seen whether this will attract a significant number of new players.
