This week, Team Jade showcased the latest operator coming to their free-to-play shooter ‘Delta Force’ alongside the announcement of the game’s next seasonal update “War Ablaze”, which lands on the 23rd of September.

In addition to all this and a new season pass, Team Jade has also confirmed a special collaboration with Lionsgate to bring a beloved horror franchise to the game: Delta Force X SAW will begin with this next season and in it, players will be able to unlock a variety of in-game items such as a SAW-inspired Operator and Firearm Appearances, a Billy-Wolf charm, a Billy-Wolf loot item and more.
To run down the big changes coming in Season War Ablaze:

- New “Fault” Warfare Map: Players will embrace ultimate warfare with the new map Fault, making the impossible a reality! Experience a modern twist in a vintage setting with a high-octane dogfight across the ancient ruins, conquer unusual battleground using strategic combat from above or below, navigate unpredictable weather with dense fog acting as a friend or foe, and soar high above with the newly added F-45A Fighter jet.
- Updates to Operations Mode: Operation Warden & Operation Raven will be available to play! As long as Ghroth stands, Tide Prison will never fall – Outmaneuver Warden or Raven in Tide Prison’s new special missions and save Ahsarah from the abyss. Layali Grove will also transform with a blazing environmental change, offering new challenges for Operators to explore.
- 120 FPS Support & UI/UX Improvements on Console: Console players can now experience Delta Force in stunning 120 FPS, offering smoother gameplay. This upgrade will initially be available on a selection of maps, and will come to additional maps in subsequent updates. Additionally, a suite of controller handling optimizations including aim assist improvements and UI/UX improvements have been introduced to provide an even more intuitive and enjoyable experience, among other quality-of-life improvements.
