The Epic Games Store has just rolled out 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 your mobile device. This move could be a game-changer in swaying more players to the Epic Games Store (EGS).

Bioware, a studio with a polarizing reputation, has nonetheless earned widespread praise for its Star Wars titles. The Knights of the Old Republic series stands out as a fan-favorite, and now is your chance to experience it without spending a dime. When Epic Games Store launched, one of its biggest draws was its free game program. Users could sign up, claim these free titles, and keep them forever. While this hasn't swayed many Steam loyalists on PC, it might just be the key to attracting mobile gamers.

Set thousands of years before the iconic Star Wars films and TV series, Knights of the Old Republic lets you step into the shoes of a lone Jedi on a mission to stop the Sith's nefarious plans. With customizable lightsabers, a variety of force powers, and unique companions, it's easy to see why it's beloved by so many.

This isn't the first time Knights of the Old Republic has hit mobile platforms, but with the last release being over a decade ago, it'll be interesting to see if this new version on the Epic Games Store has been polished. Regardless, offering a critically acclaimed Bioware duology for free is a powerful move to boost the EGS's appeal.

Now, it remains to be seen whether this will draw in more players. In the meantime, if you're looking for something a bit shorter and more bite-sized, why not check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
