Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords is now available on Android
Aspyr Media and Lucasfilm have just announced that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords is coming to Android and iOS this month. As a matter of fact, the game is slated for release on the 18th of December (only ten days away), and you'll be able to pick it up for $14.99. Seeing that the original Star Wars: KotOR has been available on Android since 2014, it's definitely fantastic to learn that the sequel is finally coming to the platform.
Even though it has taken Aspyr six years to finally bring the follow-up to the original Star Wars: KotOR (currently on sale), I must say today's news is very welcome. I have no doubt fans of the games will rejoice that they will soon be able to play the first two titles in the KotOR series on mobile back to back. While details are still light, we already know the game will be launched on the Play Store on December 18th for $14.99, which is a good sign the mobile version will be a premium release. We also know the game has been optimized for mobile play, so here's hoping the port is just as good as the first KotOR release on Android.

UPDATE: 2020/12/18 9:58am PST BY MATTHEW SHOLTZ
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords is now available on Android
Last week we learned that Aspyr Media and Lucasfilm would bring Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords to Android. Not only did this announcement come as a surprise, seeing that the first game was ported to Android six years ago, but the arrival of this sequel is also long overdue. Thankfully the Android port is really good. I went hands-on with the title recently, and I have to say it's an impressive port. You can expect full controller support to accompany the touchscreen controls, and the game performs admirably, without any noticeable slowdown or dropped frames. You can choose to keep the framerate capped at 60, or you go unlimited, and let me tell you, unlimited is the way to go. On my Tab S7 and OP8, the game is as smooth as butter.
Of course, if you'd like to check Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords out for yourself, you can grab a copy for $14.99 from the Play Store widget below this article.
