Fans of Delta Force have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Black Hawk Down campaign, and now, they finally have a date to look forward to. The highly anticipated DLC is set to launch on February 21, 2025. Since the game’s initial release in December 2024, Team Jade’s free-to-play reimagining of the classic Delta Force series has built a strong player base, but many have been holding out for the immersive single-player experience that was teased from the start. Now, after weeks of speculation, the wait is almost over.
A Long-Awaited Campaign
When Delta Force was first revealed, one of the biggest highlights was the Black Hawk Down campaign, inspired by the 2001 Ridley Scott film and the real-life events that shaped it. However, just a month after the game launched, Team Jade announced that the campaign’s release would be delayed. At the time, they assured fans that it would still arrive during Season Starfall, which kicked off on January 18, but no exact date was given—until now.
The official confirmation came on February 10 via a brief 30-second teaser on the Delta Force YouTube channel. While the trailer didn’t offer much in the way of new details, it did confirm that the Black Hawk Down DLC would be dropping on February 21. From the glimpses shown, it looks like Team Jade is staying true to the gritty realism that made the original Delta Force: Black Hawk Down game from 2003 such a hit.
What We Still Don’t Know
Even with the release date set, there are still a few big unanswered questions. The biggest one? How much will it cost? Team Jade has previously stated that Black Hawk Down will be a paid expansion, making it the first major piece of content in Delta Force that won’t be free. However, they haven’t revealed a price tag yet, leaving players to speculate. Since the base game and all its multiplayer modes are completely free—with only cosmetic microtransactions—there’s no real precedent for how much this DLC might set players back.
Another lingering question is how extensive the campaign will be. Will it be a full-fledged experience with multiple missions and a deep narrative, or a more condensed, action-heavy expansion? The original Delta Force: Black Hawk Down game was known for its intense, realistic battles, and fans are hoping for something similar with this new take on the campaign.
A Much-Needed Boost for Delta Force?
The arrival of the Black Hawk Down campaign could be a game-changer for Delta Force, which has faced stiff competition since launch. Despite strong initial interest, it has struggled to keep pace with massive titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, which dropped around the same time in 2024. The addition of a single-player campaign might just be what the game needs to attract more players and keep them engaged.
For those who have been holding off on trying Delta Force until the campaign arrived, now’s the time to jump in. There’s still a little under two weeks before the DLC launches, giving new players a chance to get familiar with the game’s mechanics and existing multiplayer modes before diving into the story-driven experience.
As for the price and final gameplay details? We’ll likely get those answers very soon. One thing’s for sure—February 21 is shaping up to be a big day for Delta Force fans.
