The Epic Games Store has launched its latest free release, and it's a big one for Star Wars fans. You can now grab Bioware's critically acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic duology for free on the Epic Games Store for mobile. This move could potentially sway more players to the platform, considering the legendary status of these games.

Bioware, a developer known for its polarizing yet impactful games, has crafted a masterpiece with the Knights of the Old Republic series. Universally praised, these games stand out as some of the best in the Star Wars franchise. If you've never experienced the fan-favorite Knights of the Old Republic, now's your chance to dive into this epic saga without spending a dime.

When the Epic Games Store first launched, one of its key attractions was the promise of free games. Users could sign up, claim these free releases, and keep them forever. While this hasn't significantly shifted loyalties from Steam on PC, it might be the game-changer needed to attract mobile gamers.

Set thousands of years before the events of the Star Wars films and series, Knights of the Old Republic lets you step into the shoes of a lone Jedi fighting against the Sith. With customizable lightsabers, powerful force abilities, and a diverse cast of companions, it's no wonder this game has captured the hearts of so many fans.

This isn't the first time Knights of the Old Republic has made its way to mobile, but the last release was over a decade ago. It will be interesting to see if this new version on the Epic Games Store includes any enhancements. Even without updates, offering a critically acclaimed Bioware duology for free is a powerful incentive to boost the platform's appeal.

The real question now is whether this will attract more players to the Epic Games Store. While we wait to see the impact, if you're looking for shorter, more bite-sized gaming experiences, why not check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
