Delta Force: Elite Warriors Pre-Orders Live for Mobile

Delta Force, previously known as Delta Force: Hawk Ops, is now accepting pre-registrations for its mobile release on iOS and Android. Launching in late January 2025, this Tencent-developed title marks a significant entry into the modern military shooter market. The game boasts 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. Inspired by the US military's elite special forces unit, the series has always prioritized realistic action, advanced gadgets, and authentic weaponry.

Tencent's Level Infinite has masterfully revived the franchise. The game includes a Warfare mode offering large-scale combat reminiscent of Battlefield, and an Operations mode focusing on extraction-style gameplay. A single-player campaign, heavily inspired by the movie Black Hawk Down and the Battle of Mogadishu, is also planned for 2025.

Addressing Cheating Concerns

Despite high anticipation, Delta Force hasn't escaped controversy. Cheating, a persistent problem in online shooters, has been a major concern. While Tencent's anti-cheat team, G.T.I. Security, is actively working to combat this, their aggressive methods, including restrictions on certain software and hardware for the PC version, have drawn criticism.

Although the mobile platform may offer less opportunity for cheating, the PC-related controversy might still impact player interest. However, the mobile release could still prove successful.
