In one of the most shocking and unexpected collaborations in recent memory, the world of tactical shooters is set to collide with iconic horror. Developer Team Jade has officially announced that its upcoming free-to-play title, Delta Force, will feature a major crossover event with the legendary Saw film franchise. This chilling partnership, revealed as part of the game's first post-launch season, will bring the terrifying mind games of Jigsaw directly to the battlefield.

First revealed during showcases like Gamescom 2024, the announcement sent a jolt through the gaming community, blending the grounded realism of military operations with the psychological terror synonymous with Billy the Puppet. This ambitious event demonstrates a bold strategy for the franchise reboot, which has also streamlined its name from the initial Delta Force: Hawk Ops to the classic and direct Delta Force.

A Deadly Collaboration: Jigsaw's Game Begins

A teaser trailer for the event sets a deeply unsettling tone, showing Jigsaw's insidious influence infiltrating the high-stakes world of Delta Force. The iconic Billy the Puppet appears, delivering cryptic messages and signaling the start of a new, twisted game.

The crossover will be centered around Operator D-Wolf, who is featured in the trailer donning a mask resembling the terrifying puppet. While the original Jigsaw, John Kramer, is long gone in the film's timeline, his legacy of deadly traps and moral tests will be fully present. Players can expect to unlock the D-Wolf "Billy" skin, alongside a host of themed firearms and cosmetic items inspired by the Saw universe. This collaboration marks another high-profile gaming appearance for the horror franchise, but its integration into a tactical shooter promises a uniquely intense experience for fans of both worlds.

Season 1: War Ablaze Brings More Than Fear

The Saw crossover is the headline attraction of Delta Force's inaugural post-launch season, titled "War Ablaze." This foundational update is packed with new content designed to expand the core tactical experience and keep the gameplay fresh following the game's launch.

Beyond the horror-themed event, "War Ablaze" will introduce a substantial amount of new content, including:

  • Two New Game Modes: "Operation Warden" and "Operation Raven" are set to provide players with fresh strategic challenges and objectives that will test their teamwork and tactical skills.
  • New Warfare Map: Fault: A brand-new battlefield, Fault, will be added to the map rotation. This new environment will offer unique sightlines, chokepoints, and strategic opportunities for squads to master.
  • New Operator: Raptor: The roster of elite soldiers is expanding with the addition of Raptor. This new Operator will bring a unique skill set and new tactical possibilities to team compositions, further deepening the game's strategic layer.

A Bold New Strategy for a Classic Franchise

The decision to launch Delta Force with such a high-profile, genre-bending crossover is a clear signal of intent from Team Jade. In a crowded free-to-play market, combining the established tactical gameplay of Delta Force with the mainstream appeal of a horror icon like Saw is a powerful move to capture a broad audience.

This collaboration aims not only to excite the existing player base but also to attract new fans who might be intrigued by the unique blend of genres. The timing of the event around the Halloween season will undoubtedly amplify its impact, creating a major cultural moment for the game shortly after its release. By weaving together the robust content of the "War Ablaze" season with the shock value of the Saw crossover, Delta Force is positioning itself as a dynamic and unpredictable new player in the tactical shooter space. The game is no longer just about the mission; it’s about survival.
