Nintendo Switch Online subscribers still have a few days to try a video game monument “for free”. An opportunity that would be a shame to miss.
Unlike PS Plus or Xbox Game Pass, Nintendo Switch Online generally plays on the nostalgic fiber of its subscribers. This is particularly the case with the current offer. Until May 9, it is in fact possible to try one of BioWare’s greatest games “for free”.
A Nintendo Switch Online free trial offer not to be missed
In reference to the famous “May the 4th”, Nintendo Switch Online joined the festivities with an offer of its own. From May 3 to 9, the subscription service therefore offers to try Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) “for free”. For many one of the best games in the George Lucas universe, it was developed by BioWare in 2003. With a little delay, it joined the Nintendo Switch catalog in 2021.
For those under 20 who don’t know it, KOTOR is an RPG set in the famous galaxy far, far away. Specifically during the Old Republic era, many years before the events of the films. We play a Force-sensitive character suffering from amnesia. His role will be central in a conflict between the Old Republic and the all-powerful Sith Lord Darth Revan. The BioWare title offered a fascinating story entirely driven by our choices. We could either turn to the Light Side or succumb to the Dark Side, with all the consequences that entails for the entire galaxy.
If you want to (re)experience this true video game monument without spending a fortune, you have until May 9 to do so. However, this requires being a subscriber to the Nintendo Switch Online service. Once this period has passed, you will be able to continue the adventure, but naturally by purchasing the game. A way like any other to wisely wait for the distant, very distant KOTOR Remake, in short.
