Delta Force Console Release Delayed; Progress Is Going Well, But Team Is Looking to Solve Input-Based Fairness
[summaraize]
With the Delta Force Black Hawk Down campaign now officially available, many have begun to turn their eyes to the next big release from Team Jade, that being the console version of Delta Force.
While initially meant to come out during the first quarter of 2025, the studio has sadly announced that they have delayed the console release, though for good reasons.
Team Jade Wants to Address Input Fairness Before Releasing Delta Force’s Console Versions
As revealed in the latest Ask Shadow Anything” Q&A episode, game director Shadow Guo took to answering some of the community’s most burning questions. One of the biggest questions to be answered was an update on the console release of Delta Force. Sadly, it’s not good news, as the answer provided alluded to it getting delayed with no updated time window. He explains that while progress is going well for the port, one of the key reasons for the delay was input fairness, ensuring that console players of all skill levels could have a fair and balanced aiming experience. This is likely referring to crossplay, controller versus mouse, and keyboard users, where heavy aim assistance is often given to console players to compensate against PC players.
Additionally, Shadow also said that another reason for the delay is the UI (user interface) for Delta Force’s extraction mode. They didn’t want to release an “unfinished” game as the UI isn’t suited to consoles at the moment. He goes on to apologize for the inconvenience.
As saddened as we are by this news, it’s understandable. Hopefully, the wait isn’t too long.
For now, PC gamers can at least enjoy the new Black Hawk Down campaign (read our hands-on here), which is now available to download, for free.
