Delta Force, previously known as Delta Force: Hawk Ops, is now open for pre-registration on iOS and Android. This Tencent-developed title, launching late January 2025, marks a significant entry into the modern military shooter market, blending diverse missions and modes with a tactical gameplay focus.
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 unit, it's known for realistic combat, advanced gadgets, and authentic weaponry.
Tencent's Level Infinite has masterfully revived the series. "Warfare" mode delivers 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, primarily concerning cheating. Tencent's aggressive anti-cheat measures, implemented via their G.T.I. Security team, have drawn criticism for their intensity. While these measures might be less impactful on mobile platforms, the initial PC-related concerns have already dampened some players' enthusiasm. However, the reduced likelihood of cheating on mobile could still allow Delta Force to meet expectations.
