Switch Gamers Have Chance to Get Incredible Star Wars Game for Cheap

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is currently 65% off on the Nintendo eShop, bringing the classic 2003 RPG down to just $5.24 for a limited time. With BioWare’s latest effort, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, recently being released, it could be the perfect time to jump into Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, which is often considered one of the studio’s best games.

The original Knights of the Old Republic was first released back in 2003, giving gamers an unprecedented deep dive into a galaxy far, far away. With engaging round-based combat, excellently-written companions, and a compelling storyline, Knights of the Old Republic is generally considered to be one of the best Star Wars games ever made. Its sequel wasn’t too shabby, either. Over two decades later, the game is still seen as the benchmark for what a Star Wars RPG could be when done right.

There are plenty of fans out there awaiting the Knights of the Old Republic remake. Announced back in 2021 by developer Aspyr, the game seems to have gone through a turbulent development period. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 studio Saber Interactive took over development from Aspyr in late 2022, but gamers haven’t seen anything concrete from the game since that first initial trailer. Earlier this year, it was confirmed that the Knights of the Old Republic remake was still in active development, offering hope that the project will see the light of day eventually. No release window for the game has been announced.
