Summary
- The Black Hawk Down DLC for Delta Force will launch on February 21.
- Team Jade has stated that Black Hawk Down will be paid DLC, but no price has been announced.
Delta Force fans can expect the game’s Black Hawk Down campaign DLC to launch on February 21. Team Jade’s reimagined free-to-play version of the classic shooter series has quickly amassed an impressive player base since its December 2024 release, but fans have had to wait for the immersive campaign mode teased in its initial reveal. Now the wait is nearly over, as a new trailer has finally given Delta Force players a specific release date.
Despite showcasing the Ridley Scott movie-inspired campaign in its original reveal trailer, Delta Force delayed the Black Hawk Down DLC just over a month after the game’s release. At the time, Team Jade did not have a specific date to offer fans but assured them that it would come sometime during Season Starfall, which started on January 18. Thankfully, the delay did not end up taking much time, as devs were able to give some more clarity on the matter less than a month after announcing the setback.

Drawing heavily from Ridley Scott’s Black Hawk Down for Delta Force: Hawk Ops may draw in fans of the film but could prove problematic in practice.
Team Jade revealed the release date in a 30-second teaser on the official Delta Force YouTube channel uploaded on February 10. According to the trailer, the Black Hawk Down DLC will be available starting February 21. Details beyond that remain scarce, but the gameplay and cutscenes seem faithful to the real-world events and 2001 film that inspired the original Delta Force: Black Hawk Down game in 2003. When it arrives, the campaign could also help the game foster a larger player base after Delta Force was overshadowed by Call of Duty: Black Ops 6‘s release in 2024.
Delta Force’s Black Hawk Down Campaign Release Date
There are still some lingering questions the launch date trailer leaves unanswered. Most notably, it’s not clear how much the campaign will cost. Team Jade has previously clarified that Black Hawk Down will be paid DLC, but how much players will have to shell out for it is still a mystery. All of Delta Force‘s many existing game modes are free, apart from some in-game paid cosmetics, so there’s no real baseline to help predict how much the campaign may cost.
With the release date coming so soon, players won’t have to wait long to learn more. Anyone who was waiting for the campaign to try the game out has a couple of weeks to learn how Delta Force’s different modes work and get used to the gameplay before diving into the DLC. If the campaign ends up costing more than some fans would like, they can still enjoy the rest of the game for free.
Delta Force, a free-to-play 1st-person tactical shooter, returns as the latest in the classic series. With 25 years defining the genre, Delta Force is back with an upgraded arsenal of weaponry, jaw-dropping environments, and a truly dynamic world.
Delta Force features a variety of both single- and multi-player modes that take place over two distinct timeframes.
