When is the next Delta Force alpha? The beloved Delta Force series is back with Delta Force, a new free-to-play title. Deemed the “next generation of Delta Force”, and previously titled Delta Force: Hawk Ops, the upcoming game combines classic campaigns with new ones and a range of multiplayer modes.
The Delta Force release date is still a way away, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a look at the latest installment in the classic FPS game series before then. Despite still being in the alpha stage of development, developer Team Jade is inviting some players to try out the free PC game already. Read on to learn how to get your hands on the latest Delta Force Hawk Ops playtest.
Delta Force Hawk Ops alpha dates
The current Delta Force alpha test went live on Tuesday, August 6, and will end on September 8. Delta Force is set to open up to the public during Steam Next Fest in October 2024.
Players must be invited to the current alpha to play, but there are a few ways to gain access. While the Delta Force Hawk Ops alpha doesn’t include access to the Black Hawk Down campaign remake, or any single-player modes for that matter, you can jump in to the game’s two primary multiplayer modes.
In Hazard Operation, deploy with two other players and a pre-selected loadout to find and extract with valuable loot and resources. Naturally, you’ll be going against other player teams, but you should keep your eye out for AT-controlled enemies as well in this PvPvE extraction mode.
All we really want to tell you about Havoc Warfare, meanwhile, is that an official blog post calls it “bombastic”. If that’s not enough to go on, though, this is a huge 32 v 32 mode played on massive maps (two in the alpha), and your goal is to take control of various areas of the map.
Delta Force Next Fest demo
As confirmed during Gamescom ONL on August 21, 2o24, a Delta Force demo is going to be available to all PC players during Steam Next Fest in October 2024.
During Steam Next Fest, many game demos are made openly available to the public for free, and Delta Force’s inclusion in this event means we know we can try the game out then, ahead of an early access release at the end of the year. If you miss out on access to the Delta Force playtest then, at least you know you can drop in in just a few weeks.
