Delta Force pre-orders now open for Android and iOS

Delta Force, previously known as Delta Force: Hawk Ops, is now accepting pre-registrations for iOS and Android. This relaunch by Level Infinite, a Tencent subsidiary, aims to bring the classic military shooter franchise into the modern gaming landscape with a planned late January 2025 release.

The game boasts a blend of missions and game modes, emphasizing tactical gameplay. For those unfamiliar, Delta Force holds a significant place in FPS history, predating even Call of Duty. Its focus on realistic weaponry and gadgets, inspired by the US military's Delta Force unit, defined a generation of shooters.

Tencent's revival features Warfare mode (large-scale combat) and Operations mode (extraction-based gameplay). A single-player campaign, drawing inspiration from the Battle of Mogadishu and the film Black Hawk Down, is also slated for release in 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 is dedicated to the issue, the stringent restrictions on software and hardware have been met with negative feedback.

Although cheating might be less prevalent on mobile, the PC controversy could impact the mobile version's reception. Nevertheless, the potential for a smoother, cheat-free mobile experience might still allow Delta Force to meet expectations.
