Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic Release Date Switch
Who’d of thought it – Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic on the Nintendo Switch? Granted, it’s a game from a far, far away time, but having redownloaded it for Steam last year, it hasn’t aged in terms of engagement.
While it’s no longer a looker based on today’s standards, Aspyr has given it an upgrade for Nintendo’s electro rectangle. It was (is) one of the most immersive games of its time and well worth adding to your list – whether you’re a Star Wars fan or not.
Set four thousand years before the Galactic Empire, the Jedi find themselves in another predicament where the Sith are annihilating them. Your job is to master the Force and hopefully save the Republic, or you can say eff it and be a villain.
Here are just some of the features in Knights of the Old Republic:
- Journey through a Star Wars classic set in an era before the rise of the Empire, filled with unique characters, creatures, vehicles and planets.
- Experience a deep RPG with customizable characters and meaningful choices that impact your experiences with the story and your squad.
- Harness the power of the Force with over 40 different abilities and wield your own lightsaber.
- Adventure through eight enormous and iconic Star Wars worlds, including Tatooine and Kashyyyk, in your own starship, the Ebon Hawk.
- Choose your party from and build everlasting bonds with nine unique crewmates, including Twi’leks, droids and Wookiees.
Here’s a trailer from the Nintendo Direct (Knights of the Old Republic is around 15:25):
Even without playing this version, Knights of the Old Republic is firmly on my list – even as a non-Star Wars fan – it’s that good. The game will be released on the Switch on the 11th of November.
