Delta Force, previously known as Delta Force: Hawk Ops, has initiated pre-registration on iOS and Android platforms. This relaunch by Level Infinite, a Tencent subsidiary, marks a significant entry into the modern military shooter market, slated for a late January 2025 release. The game boasts diverse missions, modes, and a tactical gameplay approach.

For those unfamiliar, the Delta Force franchise holds a prominent place in FPS history, predating even Call of Duty. Known for its realistic action, advanced gadgets, and authentic weaponry, this revival promises a faithful continuation of the series' legacy. Tencent's efforts include a "Warfare" mode offering large-scale combat reminiscent of Battlefield, and an "Operations" mode embracing the extraction shooter genre. A single-player campaign, inspired by the Battle of Mogadishu and the film "Black Hawk Down," is also planned.

Combating Cheaters

Despite the anticipation, Delta Force has faced controversy regarding its anti-cheat measures. Tencent's aggressive approach, employing G.T.I. Security, has drawn criticism for its perceived overreach. While restrictions implemented for the PC version have been met with disapproval, the mobile release may offer a less susceptible environment for cheating. This could potentially mitigate concerns and allow the game to meet player expectations. For a comprehensive look at other top mobile shooters, explore our list of the 15 best iOS shooters.
