As a seasoned gamer with over a decade of experience under my belt, I’m always on the lookout for new and exciting titles that deliver immersive gameplay and visually stunning graphics. Delta Force: Hawk Ops has piqued my interest with its promise of large-scale vehicular combat and destructible environments reminiscent of Battlefield.

If you’re in search of a shooter game reminiscent of Battlefield with stunning graphics and intense vehicular battles, Delta Force: Hawk Ops is worth checking out. During Summer Game Fest this year, we were provided with another glimpse of its impressive destructible environments and military weaponry from Team Jade. Although not much gameplay footage has been released yet, we’re eagerly anticipating the game. Here are some key details about the game’s features and when you can sign up for the Alpha test.

When does the Delta Force: Hawk Ops Alpha test start?

Starting on August 6, 2024, at 12 AM UTC (+0), you’ll have the opportunity to experience the PC Alpha test of Delta Force: Hawk Ops. The release was initially planned for July 18, 2024, but had to be pushed back due to technical issues discovered during the Technical Test. Long queue times in all multiplayer modes were among the problems identified, leading the developers to postpone the launch in order to fine-tune the extraction shooter game further. The Alpha will offer support for English, French, Spanish, German, and Russian languages.

The Steam listing for this free-to-play game indicates that the final version will offer a revamped campaign and a fresh multiplayer mode with a specialist theme. During the Alpha testing phase, players can try out Hazard Operations and Havoc Warfare game modes. In Hazard Operations, teams of rivals, Royal Guards, and AI-controlled mercenaries battle it out in unpredictable events on two massive maps. Meanwhile, Havoc Warfare introduces large-scale combat with vehicles, tanks, and aircraft for intense PvP battles across three maps.

What to expect from Delta Force: Hawk Ops’ gameplay

Developer TiMi Studio is bringing both solo and multiplayer battles to life, set in two distinct time periods: the Delta Force – Black Hawk Down mission from 1993 and a futuristic assault on a large corporation in 2035. The team has recreated the Delta Force: Black Hawk Down campaign originally developed by NovaLogic in 2003, now using Unreal Engine 5. Players can expect an immersive first-person shooting experience, filled with the raw intensity similar to Battlefield’s earlier versions like 3 and 4, complete with a variety of weapons and capabilities.

At the Summer Game Fest 2024 preview, the trailer didn’t reveal many details about the game mechanics. While we got a glimpse of stunning lighting effects and a player exploring diverse in-game environments, it’s not enough to assure us that this isn’t just another repetitive first-person shooter. With an impressive 100,000 wishlists already accumulated, there’s undoubtedly strong curiosity from both seasoned players and FPS enthusiasts eager to explore something fresh.
