Delta Force, previously known as Delta Force: Hawk Ops, is now open for pre-registration on iOS and Android. This Tencent-developed title, launching late January 2025, marks a significant entry into the modern military shooter market. The game blends various 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. Inspired by the real-life US military unit, it's known for its realistic weaponry and gadgets. Tencent's revival features Warfare mode (large-scale combat) and Operations mode (extraction-focused gameplay). A single-player campaign, drawing inspiration from 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 approach to combating cheaters. Tencent's anti-cheat measures, implemented for the PC version, have drawn criticism for their perceived overreach. While the mobile version may experience fewer cheating issues, this initial controversy could impact player interest.
However, the potential for a smoother, cheat-free mobile experience might still allow Delta Force to meet expectations. For a broader look at the best mobile shooters, explore our top 15 iOS shooter games list!
