Delta Force, previously known as Delta Force: Hawk Ops, is now accepting pre-registrations for iOS and Android devices. This relaunch by Level Infinite, a Tencent subsidiary, marks a significant entry into the modern military shooter market, with a planned late January 2025 release.
The game promises a blend of 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. It's known for its realistic combat, advanced weaponry, and gadgets.
Tencent's revival features Warfare mode (large-scale battles reminiscent of Battlefield) and Operations mode (extraction-based gameplay). A single-player campaign, heavily inspired by the Black Hawk Down movie and the Battle of Mogadishu, is also slated for 2025.
Controversy and Cheating Concerns:
Despite high anticipation, Delta Force has faced controversy surrounding its anti-cheat measures. Tencent's aggressive approach, employing G.T.I. Security, has drawn criticism for its restrictiveness. While less prevalent on mobile platforms, these concerns might still impact player interest.
However, the mobile version's reduced susceptibility to cheating could help it meet expectations. For a broader look at top mobile shooters, explore our list of the 15 best iOS shooters.
