Extraction shooter Delta Force Hawk Ops kicks off alpha test

Upcoming extraction shooter Delta Force Hawk Ops‘ alpha test has begun on PC, and it currently has over 6,000 concurrent players already on Steam.

While the market for strategic and realistic shooters has seen some great additions in recent years, Delta Force Hawk Ops could create a fanbase of its own. But it’s still early days, and the scope of the PC alpha test is limited. Let’s take a look at what it currently offers in terms of game modes and how you can participate in it.

Delta Force Hawk Ops marks the return of the classic franchise

The first Delta Force video game was released towards the end of 1998, which was followed by sequels. Delta Force Hawk Ops marks the official return of the franchise, announced back in 2023. While the final release date isn’t available at the moment, you can explore some of the modes as part of the PC alpha test.

In the alpha test, you can play the Hazard Operation and Havoc Warfare modes. While a full campaign is expected to be part of the final product, it’s unavailable in the PC alpha test. The game is being developed by Team Jade, and it will be published by TiMi Studios. The shooter also has scope for in-depth weapon and vehicle customization.
