In a stunning turn of events, Team Jade has announced that the upcoming Delta Force: Black Hawk Down campaign DLC will be entirely free-to-play.  This last-minute decision, communicated through social media, is described as a "token of appreciation" for the continued player support since the open beta.

The revival of the iconic Delta Force franchise offers a free-to-play, team-focused experience fueled by modern gaming technology. Drawing inspiration from the 2003 Delta Force title and Ridley Scott's acclaimed 2001 film, Team Jade crafted a new campaign centered around the Black Hawk Down incident. Initially slated for an earlier release, the DLC was delayed to ensure it met the developer's rigorous quality standards.

Playing Delta Force's Ranked mode provides a competitive avenue to hone your skills, but it functions differently than you might expect.

Following the delay of the Black Hawk Down campaign, Team Jade revealed its free-to-play status. Launching on February 21st, the campaign grants access to all players without any purchase necessary. Team Jade reiterated its commitment to free playable content, while also highlighting this decision as a 'gesture of gratitude' to its loyal player base in a Twitter announcement.

The news sparked a wave of positive reactions across social media, with players expressing excitement and praising the free-to-play model, even hoping other AAA titles might follow suit.

With the imminent release of the Black Hawk Down campaign, Team Jade provided further details via a Steam blog post.  Addressing frequently asked questions, the developer clarified that while designed for cooperative play, the campaign can be tackled solo, albeit with a significantly increased difficulty. The recommended approach is to assemble a squad of four Delta Force operators to fully experience the co-op gameplay.

For PC players, keyboard and mouse are the currently supported control methods, with controller support planned for a future patch. The Black Hawk Down campaign promises a rich and rewarding co-op experience, now accessible to everyone without cost.
