Interview: Delta Force’s Ambitious Plans to Disrupt the Mobile Shooter Market

Last year, Delta Force made a grand return to the gaming world with its launch on PC, rekindling the flames of excitement for this iconic tactical shooter series. Now, it’s gearing up to conquer a brand new frontier by bringing its action-packed, free-to-play tactical gameplay to mobile users. The buzz around its mobile debut has been nothing short of electric, with over 20 million eager players signing up in advance on both Android and iOS, all set for the big launch on April 21st.

We caught up with Leo Yao, the Head of Studio, and Shadow Guo, the Game Director at Team Jade, to dive into the making of Delta Force Mobile. They shared insights into the game’s innovative content, stunning graphics, performance optimizations, and the team’s commitment to their play-to-win rather than pay-to-win approach.

### Bringing Epic Battles to Mobile Devices

Delta Force comes loaded with a treasure trove of features designed to bring players a slice of the action they loved from the original series, blended with a modern twist. You’ll find realistic battlefields, unique class-based Operators, a rich arsenal of weapons, and a variety of game modes. Whether you’re flying solo or teaming up with friends, there’s something for everyone. Standout features include the groundbreaking 24v24 battles with vehicles and an exciting PvPvE extraction-based mode, adding a fresh layer of strategic play. Striking a balance between nostalgia and innovation was a key goal for the developers.

“Our aim was to deliver a truly top-tier shooter on mobile that mirrors the thrill and immersion of its PC counterpart,” Guo explained. “We set out to introduce players to modes and maps they’ve never seen before, packed with adrenaline and enjoyment. That’s why we’re especially excited about our world-first 24v24 large-scale battlefield, a feature that really stretches the limits of mobile shooters.”

### Gaming Anytime, Anywhere

Designed for both new audiences and seasoned PC players, Delta Force Mobile ensures that fans can enjoy the game wherever they go. An important aspect of this is the game’s cross-progression feature with the PC version, supported by Google Play Games on PC. This means your progress and gameplay are seamless across platforms. At launch, synchronized content includes a plethora of maps, Operators, vehicles, and weapons, with plans for more additions in the future.

“We wanted Delta Force to offer thrilling cross-platform experiences,” Yao shared. “Whether you’re squeezing in a quick match on your phone during a commute or settling into an intense session on PC, our focus was on making the game accessible and fun for everyone. We prioritized a wide spectrum of exciting content across all platforms for this mobile launch.”

### No Player Left Behind

True to its ethos, Delta Force ensures that no gamer is left out by optimizing the game for a broad range of devices. The developers worked diligently to ensure the game is accessible to players worldwide, regardless of their device’s technical specs.

“We didn’t want players to stress about whether their phones could support the gameplay,” Yao explained. “That’s why we aimed for inclusive system requirements. Remarkably, even an iPhone 7, which is nearly a decade old, can run the full Delta Force experience.”

With high-resolution visuals and comprehensive lighting systems, mobile players will feel truly immersed in the game’s world. Featuring lifelike operators, detailed weapon cosmetics, expansive maps, and unique in-game effects, every detail has been crafted with care.

### Cutting-Edge Performance

For fans of shooter games, achieving high frames per second (FPS) is crucial, and Delta Force delivers 120 FPS thanks to advanced technology like Vulkan and Metal. The team has boosted efficiency to about 50% higher than most top-tier mobile shooters, solidifying Delta Force as a leader in mobile gaming performance. With low input-latency, every decision has been made to ensure the smoothest possible experience.

### Playing to Win

Delta Force stands out with its play-to-win progression system, which offers new and existing players the chance to earn exclusive rewards. At launch, those diving into the mobile experience will find themselves eligible for a swath of rewards just for logging in and playing. With $500 worth of loot up for grabs, including weapon and vehicle appearances, and a wide array of other goodies, there’s every incentive to keep playing.

“We are fiercely committed to a no-pay-to-win framework,” they emphasized. “Our game development is driven by the passion of our players, and rewarding them is crucial. Delta Force isn’t just a game; it’s a community-first experience.”

Now available on iOS and Android, Delta Force Mobile opens up the battlefield to millions of players. Plus, the PC version remains ready for those who prefer a larger screen. Dive in and experience the action for yourself!
