Delta Force, previously known as Delta Force: Hawk Ops, is now accepting pre-registrations for its mobile release on iOS and Android. Launching in late January 2025, this Tencent-developed title marks a significant entry into the modern military shooter market. The game blends various missions and modes, emphasizing tactical gameplay.
For those unfamiliar, the Delta Force franchise is a veteran of the FPS genre, predating even Call of Duty. Inspired by the real-life US military special forces unit, the series has always focused on realistic weaponry and gadgets.
Tencent's Level Infinite has revitalized the franchise with impressive features. "Warfare" mode offers large-scale combat reminiscent of Battlefield, while "Operations" delves into the extraction shooter style. A single-player campaign, heavily inspired by the 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 aggressive anti-cheat measures, implemented for the PC version, have drawn criticism. While the mobile platform might present fewer cheating challenges, the initial PC reception could still impact overall player interest.
However, the mobile version offers a potential solution to some of these concerns, presenting a chance for the game to meet expectations on a platform less susceptible to widespread cheating.
