Pre-registration for Level Infinite's revival of the iconic Delta Force brand, previously known as Delta Force: Hawk Ops, is now open for both iOS and Android users. Set to launch in late January 2025, Delta Force promises a blend of missions and modes with a more tactical approach to gameplay. This marks Tencent's ambitious venture into the modern military shooter genre, aiming to recapture the essence of what made the series a staple in FPS gaming since well before the advent of Call of Duty. Rooted in the renowned special forces unit of the US military, the original Delta Force games were celebrated for their realistic shooting mechanics, advanced gadgets, and authentic weaponry.
Level Infinite has approached the revival of Delta Force with enthusiasm and innovation. The game introduces a "Warfare" mode that evokes the large-scale combat of Battlefield, while the "Operations" mode delves into the extraction shooter genre. Additionally, fans can look forward to a single-player campaign inspired by the Battle of Mogadishu, heavily influenced by the 2001 film Black Hawk Down, scheduled for release in 2025.
However, Delta Force's journey has not been without its challenges. The specter of cheating, a common issue in modern shooters, looms large. Tencent's response, through their G.T.I. Security team, has been aggressive, implementing stringent measures on the PC version, including restrictions on certain programs and hardware. These measures have sparked controversy and skepticism among potential players. While cheating may be less of a concern on mobile platforms, the backlash from the PC community could impact overall perceptions of Delta Force. Nevertheless, with the mobile release on the horizon and a potentially lower risk of cheating, there remains optimism that Delta Force can meet the high expectations set by its legacy.
