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, promising a blend of missions, modes, and tactical gameplay, slated for a late January 2025 release.
The Delta Force franchise, a cornerstone of FPS gaming predating Call of Duty, is known for its realistic action, advanced gadgets, and authentic weaponry based on the US military's special forces. Tencent's revival features Warfare mode (large-scale combat reminiscent of Battlefield) and Operations mode (extraction-style gameplay). A single-player campaign inspired by the Battle of Mogadishu (and the film Black Hawk Down) is also planned for 2025.
Addressing Cheating Concerns
Despite high anticipation, Delta Force has faced controversy regarding its anti-cheat measures. Tencent's approach, employing G.T.I. Security, has been criticized for its aggressive tactics on the PC version, leading to backlash from some players. While the mobile platform may present fewer cheating challenges, this initial controversy could still impact its overall reception.
However, for mobile gamers seeking a compelling shooter experience, Delta Force might still deliver. To discover other top-rated mobile shooters, explore our list of the 15 best iOS shooters!
