Scheduled to drop on April 21, 2025, the much-anticipated mobile launch and Season Eclipse Vigil are right around the corner.
Let us take a look at the newest Operation Blackout in Delta Force and what it has to offer.
Operation Blackout in Delta Force explained
Operation Blackout is a new mini-mode that will be available as an option in the map rotation for Delta Force Operation game mode. Operation Blackout will take place on a modified Zero Dam – Night map, and will feature three new difficulty settings:

Players can expect features like brand new enemies, map tasks, scarce light sources, howling winds, and enemies waiting at every dark corner. This new night-time setting will prove to be a true testament of courage and bravado for players who dare to venture out during Operation Blackout.
Visibility will be extremely low and the field of view restricted, which aims to encourage players to equip the brand new NVD gears that are being introduced with Season Eclipse Vigil.
Additionally, the Warfare game mode will receive a new dusk-themed variant of the Trench Lines map, which will debut alongside a new NVD gadget equippable via Match score points.

Operation Blackout is going to present a serious challenge, especially due to the light-devoid nature of the new Zero Dam – Night map. In order to tackle these visual obstacles, players will receive brand new NVDs (Night Vision Devices) that can be equipped as a helmet.
