Delta Force, previously known as Delta Force: Hawk Ops, is now accepting pre-registrations for its mobile release on iOS and Android. This revival of the classic franchise, spearheaded by Tencent's Level Infinite, promises a blend of missions and game modes with a tactical gameplay focus. The game is slated for a late January 2025 launch.
For those unfamiliar, Delta Force holds a significant place in FPS history, predating even Call of Duty. Inspired by the real-life US military special forces unit, it's known for its realistic action, advanced gadgets, and authentic weaponry.
Tencent's relaunch features Warfare mode (large-scale battles reminiscent of Battlefield) and Operations mode (extraction-style gameplay). A single-player campaign, heavily inspired by the 2001 film Black Hawk Down and the Battle of Mogadishu, is also planned for 2025.
Addressing Cheating Concerns:
Despite high anticipation, Delta Force has faced controversy regarding its approach to combating cheaters. Tencent's anti-cheat measures, while aggressive, have drawn criticism. While the impact on the mobile version might be less significant due to the inherent challenges of cheating on mobile platforms, the initial PC-related controversy could still affect player interest.
Nevertheless, the mobile release offers a potential opportunity for the game to meet expectations, particularly given the reduced likelihood of widespread cheating. For a broader look at the mobile shooter landscape, explore our list of the top 15 best iOS shooters!
