Delta Force: Hawk Ops Interview: Devs Targetting Early 2025 Launch For The Title

Guo: Hey there! I’m Shadow Guo, the Game Director at Team Jade. I’m currently leading the development of Delta Force: Hawk Ops, a project we’ve poured our hearts and minds into for the past four years. When I’m not working on the game, I love streaming it for our players and chatting with the community. It’s an amazing way to connect and share our development journey.

Guo: We’re thrilled to be including both multiplayer modes in the alpha test. First up is Havoc Warfare, a grand war simulation with two playable maps. Then there’s Hazard Operations, our adrenaline-pumping extraction shooter mode, featuring three playable maps. Whether you prefer playing solo or teaming up with your friends, both modes will be ready for you to dive into.

Guo: We’re committed to gathering comprehensive feedback from the community on every aspect of the game, from gameplay features to performance, connection stability, and localization. So, to ensure a smooth final release for everyone, we plan to run the alpha test for at least three weeks this time.

Guo: Allow me to clarify here: we’re not remaking the 2009 classic. Instead, we’re working on a faithful reboot. We can’t reveal too much just yet, but I can say that our team is incredibly excited about what we’re creating.

Guo: The 2003 campaign holds a very special place in my heart. We wanted to create a game that honors the legacy of the franchise while welcoming new players. The Black Hawk Down campaign is our love letter to Delta Force fans, both old and new.

Guo: It’s actually over 600,000 now! We’re humbled by the passion and support from our players. We’ve tried to be as transparent as possible throughout the development process, showcasing the game at events like Summer Game Fest and TwitchCon Rotterdam. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re continuously listening to the community to make the game even better.

Guo: It’s a bit early for us to discuss console plans in detail, but we’ll share more information when the time is right.

Guo: We’re always looking for great games to play and draw inspiration from. However, we’re also deeply committed to honoring the legacy and identity of Delta Force. Our goal is to blend the original flavor with fresh, innovative elements to create a unique experience.

Guo: Our team has been working with Unreal Engine for a while now, and it’s an incredible platform for bringing our visions to life. Our partnership with Epic Games has been fantastic, helping us ensure that Delta Force: Hawk Ops looks stunning and runs smoothly. Using Unreal Engine 5 for the campaign allows us to deliver a truly immersive experience.

Guo: Absolutely! While Call of Duty: Mobile sets a high bar, Delta Force: Hawk Ops is designed to deliver a unique experience with its enhanced tactical depth and immersive gameplay. We’ve meticulously crafted the game to push the boundaries of strategic planning and real-time decision-making. Players will face situations requiring careful coordination, advanced tactics, and a keen awareness of their surroundings. This level of immersion and complexity makes Delta Force: Hawk Ops stand out from other titles, providing both seasoned veterans and new players with a refreshing and challenging experience.

Guo: Yep, we’re on track for an early 2025 release!

Guo: It’s still too early to talk about that, but we’ll keep you posted.

Guo: I just wanted to say again that we’re incredibly excited to bring Delta Force: Hawk Ops to a broader audience. We can’t wait for you to get your hands on the game, dive in, enjoy it, and let us know what you think! Your feedback will be invaluable as we continue to refine and perfect the experience.
