Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will be able to try a new game for free now for a few days. It is an arch-cult saga which is celebrated every year in May…
Nintendo has its subscription like PS Plus or Xbox Game Pass. However, the offers are quite different since the contents are not necessarily the latest at Big N. The Japanese manufacturer generally makes sure to offer retro games NES, Super Nes, N64, Mega Drive, Game Boy & Game Boy Advance. Titles that subscribers can keep and play at any time. But there are also other software that can be temporarily played at no extra cost on Nintendo Switch.
The new game on trial for May 2024 on Nintendo Switch Online
In April 2024, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers were able to download the futuristic racing game Extreme-G, as well as Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls. An N64 production that mixes racing… and the platform for an explosive cocktail. But like almost every month, there is also a “free” bonus title to discover as soon as possible thanks to the “Game Trial” program. The operation consists of putting a free, but complete, version of a video game production online for a few days. Last month, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers were able to immerse themselves in the world of action-RPG Eiyuden Chronicle Rising.
For the Nintendo Switch Online trial game in May 2024, the company has selected Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic from BioWare. The legendary role-playing game from BioWare which was released in 2021 on the hybrid console in its original version. One of the most cult Star Wars titles to date and which should return for KOTOR Remake. Provided that the project ends up being successful.
Star Wars Knights of the Republic invites you to play the savior of the Jedi Order, the one who will be able to keep the Republic standing, relying on the immeasurable power of the Force and a multitude of skills. KOTOR is available on Nintendo Switch Online, but not for long. “This trial game is only available from 05/03/2024 to 05/09/2024 for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers” indicates the official website of the Japanese firm. After that, subscribers will have no choice but to acquire Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic to continue the adventure.
Other unreleased titles in demos
If you are unable to purchase new games, there is another way to play by eye. And this time, without the need for a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. As on the PlayStation Store or the Xbox Store, you can find demos on the eShop and during a recent Indie World, Big N allowed users to get their hands on two 2024 releases in advance. On the one hand there is Europa, a Zelda-like which seems to have learned from its model with an artistic direction which can recall the films of Studio Ghibli. On the other, there is Antonblast. A fast-paced action platform game where the player advances by destroying environments using his Sacred Mate. Beware of an overdose of pixel art here though!
