A New Era for Tactical Shooters on Mobile
Delta Force, the iconic first-person shooter franchise, has made a triumphant return with its global mobile launch, achieving unprecedented success in just its first week. Developed by TiMi Studio Group and published by Level Infinite, Delta Force arrived on iOS and Android on April 21, 2025, and immediately soared to the #1 Top Free Game position in the App Store across 169 territories and in the Google Play Store across 125 territories. In an astonishing display of popularity, over 10 million players joined the action within just four days, setting a new standard for AAA mobile shooters and significantly boosting the game’s performance on PC, where concurrent player counts on Steam continue to rise.
Delta Force on mobile is not just a port-it’s a fully realized, next-generation FPS experience. Players can engage in massive 24v24 Warfare battles across seven visually stunning maps, or tackle three-player co-op Operations missions featuring enemy squads, AI mercenaries, and boss encounters. The game boasts console-quality visuals, running at up to 120 FPS with HD rendering and ultra-long-distance visibility. With 10 elite Operators, 55 customizable firearms, 12 drivable vehicles, and 19 tactical gadgets, Delta Force offers a depth and variety rarely seen in mobile shooters.
Burst Fest: Celebrating Success with Massive Rewards
To celebrate this extraordinary milestone, Team Jade has launched Burst Fest-a limited-time series of events available on both PC and mobile platforms. Burst Fest introduces a wealth of fresh gameplay elements and in-game rewards, including new weapon skins, Operators, and more. Simply logging in during Burst Fest grants players an Epic-tier AKM skin, Armament Vouchers, and other valuable items. The AKM ‘Forest Hunter’ skin, for example, is a standout reward, typically valued at around $20 in Delta Tickets, now available for free just by participating in the event.
Players can also take advantage of a seven-day login bonus, unlocking unique Operators and a vast selection of over 150 weapon skins and 21 vehicle appearances-all at no cost. The event lineup is robust:
- Warfare & Operations Events: Log in for epic rewards, including exclusive weapon appearances and vouchers.
- Operations Events: Paratrooper Rain adds five rounds of Haavk Squad to every map, offering extra supplies and a chance at rare loot.
- Mobile Events: The new mini-mode “Hot Zone” launches May 2, delivering fast-paced 3v3v3 PvP combat and exclusive MandelCells rewards.
- New Content: The Trench Lines (Night) map debuts on mobile, and the Dispute bundle (available May 2–29) introduces three new weapons and a suite of cosmetic items for 1,500 Delta Tickets or Delta Coins.
Technical Excellence and Player-Focused Design
Delta Force’s technical achievements set it apart from competitors. The game is powered by Unreal Engine 4 for multiplayer and Unreal Engine 5 for single-player content, delivering both visual fidelity and smooth performance. Cross-progression is supported between PC and mobile, allowing players to maintain their progress across platforms. The game’s anti-cheat system, Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE), operates at the kernel level to minimize cheating, though this has sparked some debate regarding system security and privacy.
Importantly, Delta Force is free-to-play with optional microtransactions strictly limited to cosmetics, ensuring a fair playing field and avoiding pay-to-win mechanics. Minimum requirements for mobile devices are accessible: Android devices need at least a Snapdragon 710 and 4GB RAM, while iOS users require an iPhone 7 or newer with iOS 11 or later.
Personal Reflections: A Dream Revived
For me, Delta Force is more than just a game-it’s a cherished part of my childhood. I vividly remember saving my allowance to buy the original Delta Force at the local computer store, replaying the missions in Egypt’s pyramids until I knew every enemy’s location by heart. My game disc became so worn from use that I had to buy it again just to keep playing.
Years have passed, but Delta Force has remained etched in my memory. When I saw the franchise’s revival announced at last year’s Gamescom, I was overwhelmed with excitement. Witnessing the new Delta Force’s explosive success and seeing a new generation discover this legendary brand fills me with joy and nostalgia.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Delta Force
Delta Force’s explosive mobile debut and the ongoing Burst Fest events mark only the beginning. Team Jade has committed to delivering continuous content updates, new features, and further optimizations to enrich the player experience. With a console release on the horizon and a thriving, engaged community, Delta Force is poised to remain at the forefront of tactical shooters for years to come.
In summary, Delta Force’s return is both a technical triumph and a heartfelt homecoming for fans old and new. Its blend of cutting-edge gameplay, generous rewards, and community-driven events ensures that the franchise’s legacy not only endures but thrives in the modern era.
