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 boasts a blend of missions and modes, emphasizing tactical gameplay.
For those unfamiliar, the Delta Force franchise holds a prominent place in FPS history, predating even Call of Duty. Inspired by the real-life US military special forces unit, the series is known for its realistic combat, advanced gadgets, and authentic weaponry.
Tencent's Level Infinite has revitalized the franchise with impressive features. "Warfare" mode offers large-scale battles reminiscent of Battlefield, while "Operations" delves into the extraction shooter genre. 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 aggressive anti-cheat measures, implemented for the PC version, have drawn criticism. While their G.T.I. Security team claims dedicated efforts, restrictions on certain software and hardware have been met with negative feedback.
Although cheating may be less prevalent on mobile platforms, this initial controversy could still impact the game's reception. However, the mobile version might yet fulfill expectations, offering a smoother experience free from the PC version's anti-cheat challenges.
