Developer Aspyr has just released the port of Bioware’s masterful Star Wars RPG game, Knights of the Old Republic on the Nintendo Switch.
After announcing a remake of The Knights of the Old Republic during the September Playstation Showcase, developer Aspyr also revealed that a port of the game would be coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch. With remakes and remasters seemingly becoming increasingly popular – both the GTA Trilogy and Skyrim just got rereleased – a port of the beloved RPG makes sense.
