Cult RPG Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Coming to Nintendo Switch

After Aspyr’s surprise announcement of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake during PlayStation’s Digital Showcase earlier this month, the studio revealed another treat for fans of the classic cult RPG.

As the title says, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is headed to Nintendo Switch. The game will release on November 11 and is already available for pre-order on the Nintendo Switch eShop for just $14.99, a great price for an epic game.

Announced during Nintendo’s Direct presentation by Aspyr and Lucasfilm Games, the critically acclaimed and award-winning RPG legend Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is not going to include any of the improvements meant for the remake.

Set four thousand years before the Galactic Empire, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic tells the story of a survivor of the galaxy-wide war between Jedi Knights and ruthless Sith. You’ll have to decide whether you want to master the power of the Force and save the Republic or fall to the lure of the dark side.

In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic you can play the hero or villain, savior or conqueror who will determine the fate of the entire galaxy. The game invites players to take a trip through a Star Wars classic set in an era before the rise of the Empire, filled with unique characters, creatures, vehicles and planets.

There are no less than 40 different abilities in the game, eight iconic Star Wars worlds, including Tatooine and Kashyyyk, along with your own ship, Ebon Hawk. You can even choose your party from and build everlasting bonds with nine unique crewmates, including Twi'leks, droids and Wookiees.

If you don’t own PlayStation 5 or a good PC to run the remaster, we can’t recommend Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic enough. Although it made its debut back in 2003, it’s actually never too late to play this classic RPG.
