Team Jade and TiMi Studio have announced that the Delta Force campaign is coming in January, and it'll reimagine the events of Ridley Scott's classic war movie Black Hawk Down.
In a Steam announcement, the two studios say that the Black Hawk Down campaign for Delta Force "faithfully reimagines" the 2001 movie, as well as the "classic Delta Force series campaign", in order to arrive at what the devs call "the definitive retelling" of the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu.
The campaign will support both solo and co-op play, and it's been built using Unreal Engine 5, so you can expect a certain level of visual fidelity. Indeed, the two studios say that the campaign will "deliver next-level immersion while remaining optimized".
When the campaign does arrive, it'll be one part of the wider Delta Force package, which offers a multiplayer first-person shooter you can experience across a host of different modes.
Released yesterday in open beta (which technically allows it to dodge the "early access" label, it seems), Delta Force features modes like Warfare, in which you can engage in 32v32 player-versus-player combat, as well as Operations, which turns Delta Force into a "next generation extraction shooter".
There's also a purely PvE Raid mode that, in the words of the devs, "offers challenging objective-based missions designed to push your squad to the limit". In short, it looks like Delta Force is shooting (no pun intended) to be the only FPS you'll ever need.
With regards to monetization, Delta Force's developers say they're "committed to no pay-to-win" and that development will be "driven by community feedback".
So far, however, the game has received a "Mixed" rating on Steam, with many players suggesting that the game installs kernel-level anti-cheat software without asking for permission, while others criticize the core gameplay loop.
Still, if Team Jade and TiMi are as committed to implementing user feedback as they say they are, there's plenty of time to right these wrongs. Delta Force is available right now on PC via Steam, and it's set to come to consoles sometime next year as well.
