Get ready to return to the Ebon Hawk and take it on the go. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is finally getting a port for Nintendo Switch, and there isn\u2019t long to wait for the KotOR Switch release date.<\/p>\n

Nintendo\u2019s handheld\/household console could be the perfect place to revisit this historical spin on the Star Wars universe. It\u2019s the prequel of the prequels, set over four millennia before the Galactic Empire, but its place in the official canon is somewhat questionable these days (everything outside of the films and animated series was wiped from the canon when Disney bought Star Wars in 2012).<\/p>\n

For the latest news and expert tips on getting the best deals this year, take a look at our Black Friday 2021<\/a> and Cyber Monday 2021<\/a> guides.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>
Aspyr Studios will port Bioware\u2019s original vision for KotOR onto Switch, staying as true as possible to its original 2003 form. The team from Asypr is also working on a full-on KotOR remake for PS5<\/a> and PC, but we don\u2019t have a date for that yet.<\/p>\n
Players can expect re-appearances from Darth Revan, Malak, Jolee Bindo, Bastilla Shan, Zaalbar, Carth Onasi, Juhani and Mission Vao and we can\u2019t leave out droids HK-47 and T3-M4. Read on for the key details.<\/p>\n
KotOR Switch release date<\/h2>\n
The KotOR Switch release date will take place on Thursday, 11th November 2021<\/strong>. That\u2019s the day on which Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic will be playable on Nintendo Switch at long last. Whether you\u2019ve played it before or not, the Switch\u2019s portability could make this a great way to jump in.<\/p>\n
Can I pre-order Knights of the Old Republic on Switch?<\/h2>\nYou may pre-order Knights of the Old Republic on Switch right now after the game\u2019s product page went live on the Nintendo eShop<\/a> at the end of last month. If you like to secure your purchases nice and early, click away now and buy your digital copy!<\/p>\n
Buy KotOR on Switch<\/strong><\/a> (\u00a311.29 from the Nintendo eShop)<\/li>\n<\/ul>
KotOR Switch price<\/h2>\n
The KotOR Switch port is priced at \u00a311.29 GBP<\/strong> in the UK currently. Other regions will vary but it\u2019s clear that Aspyr isn\u2019t expecting you to pay full whack here. They can\u2019t give it away for free, though, of course. You might get some deals and discounts in future, though.<\/p>\n
Is there a physical release of KotOR for Switch?<\/h2>\n
It\u2019s bad news for cartridge-loving gamers out there, with digital download lovers having cause to celebrate. That\u2019s our long-winded way of saying this: there will not be a physical release of KotOR for Switch, as far as we know.<\/p>
