Delta Force is fast rising through the ranks of the better FPS offerings, especially with the cadence of updates that Team Jade continues to roll out. The developer’s latest additions to the game turn out the lights and up the tension in Operation Blackout, a brand-new game mode devoted to battle in the cover of night. Alongside this promising playlist is a fresh operator, but there’s a big caveat if you’re not playing on PC.

We’re truly spoilt when it comes to grandiose RPGs, and NetEase Games is preparing to carve out a slice of the genre with Where Winds Meet. Set after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, this brand-new open-world game revels in Wuxia action and deep exploration across a sprawling map not unlike those seen in Assassin’s Creed games. You don’t need to wait long to play it either, as you can get stuck into the Where Winds Meet closed beta test.

1 week ago | pockettactics.com | Sam Comrie

Many Call of Duty players quickly suggest that Search and Destroy or Demolition is the shooter’s best game mode, but 2022’s Modern Warfare 2 brought something new to the table. Black Ops 6’s latest seasonal update is live, and after two years of remaining absent from the series, the return of Black Ops 6 3rd Person Mode is upon us. However, I have a feeling it won’t be around for long.

Rockstar Games’ library is full of random side quests, from table tennis titles to Austin Powers GameBoy games. Although the developer is best known for the Grand Theft Auto series, it made a notable departure with the release of Midnight Club 2.

The BAFTA Game Awards are a chance to celebrate the passion and craftsmanship in the games industry. However, there can only be a few winners, and one of them is Neva, a 2D platformer from Nomanda Studio.

2 weeks ago | pockettactics.com | Sam Comrie

In June 2021, Riot Games’ plans to bring Valorant Mobile to iOS and Android were announced. However, the wait for the upcoming competitive shooter is proving to be a long one. Signs of life may be coming to light, though, as a new window to pre-register interest in Valorant’s handheld iteration is currently live. There is a small catch, sadly. Unless you live in China and have access to the TapTap application, gaining entry to Valorant Mobile is going to be difficult.
