Team Jade's revival of the Delta Force franchise has had a busy first month, maintaining a steady 100,000 concurrent player count on Steam alone during the game's debut season.

The new jack-of-all-trades free-to-play shooter has a busy year ahead, which should include the game's release on Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 5, and the much anticipated revamp of the Black Hawk Down singleplayer and co-op campaign.

Following the initial success, Team Jade has revealed what is coming to the Delta Force Season 2, scheduled to release next Saturday (18/01).

As explained by Jamie Hore of PC GamesN, the first season of Delta Force was akin to a test run, but still packed a lot of content. Based on the livestream, Delta Force season 2 is going to scale up on that trend.

Season 2, or Starfall, introduces Sineva, an operator with a riot shield, deloyable razor wire, and a grappling hook.

The map department will receive two new titles: the small all-infantry aptly named Knife Edge, and Train Wreck, which is expected to be closer to Zero Dam in size.

The existing line-up will get some love as well. Star City's Industry zone will become roomier, while Zero Dam gets a major underground expansion. Escape From Tarkov fans know how valuable those are as demonstrated with the Reserve map bunker expansion.

Starfall will also bring new game modes for a limited time. Hot Zone pits three teams of three against each other, with the goal of finding then decrypting a MandelBrick, or killing everyone else.

If Counter-Strike bomb style is not your thing, the new season also adds a classic Capture The Flag mode.

Given how popular such game modes are in virtually every other major shooter, hopefully Team Jade will consider making at least one of them permanent.



If you can spare two hours, the full list of upcoming features and changes is discussed on this video, where Team Jade explain what's coming in both Mandarin and English.

The developers spared some time toward the end to reveal a little about the missions of the Black Hawk Down campaign.

The first mission will put you in the shoes of Delta Force operators during the raid on a Somali militia meeting to capture high-value targets.

Missions 2 and 4 follow soldiers of the 75th Rangers Regiment as they try to drive back to UN-controlled areas under fire.

Missions 3 and 5 will focus on the Black Hawk crash sites, though it is unclear whether they will be told from a Delta or Ranger perspective.

Mission 6 dims the lights as you fight your way out at night, potentially without night vision.

Last but certainly not least, mission 7 will follow the Mogadishu Mile, as a group of survivors fights their way back on foot.

The campaign does not have a release date thus far, but the developers have made it clear it will be catered to a co-op experience.
