A New Era for Tactical Shooters on Mobile Delta Force, the iconic first-person shooter franchise, has made a triumphant return with its global mobile launch, achieving unprecedented success in just its first week. Developed by TiMi Studio Group and published by Level Infinite, Delta Force arrived on iOS and Android on April 21, 2025, and immediately soared to the #1 Top Free Game position in the App Store across 169 territories and in the Google Play Store across 125 territories. In an astonishing display of popularity, over 10 million players joined the action within just four days, setting a new standard for AAA mobile shooters and significantly boosting the game’s performance on PC, where concurrent player counts on Steam continue to rise. Delta Force on mobile is not just a port-it’s a fully realized, next-generation FPS experience. Players can engage in massive 24v24 Warfare battles across seven visually stunning maps, or tackle three-player co-op Operations missions featuring enemy squads, AI mercenaries, and boss encounters. The game boasts console-quality visuals, running at up to 120 FPS with HD rendering and ultra-long-distance visibility. With 10 elite Operators, 55 customizable firearms, 12 drivable vehicles, and 19 tactical gadgets, Delta Force offers a depth and variety rarely seen in mobile shooters.
Sitting down with Alon Kaplan, CEO, Team lead, and composer at Biohex Studios, at the Olamot convention, I was eager to uncover the story behind Moduwar-an RTS unlike any other. Alon recounted how the journey began nearly a decade ago, when he and co-creator Alon Tzarafi (CTO & Lead Game Designer), both passionate about real-time strategy games, gathered friends to brainstorm a new concept. Inspired by the cult classic NetStorm, they envisioned a game where players connect floating islands and build modular weapons. The twist? In Moduwar, these islands would be living creatures, not static landmasses.
After a pivotal phone call, the core mechanic of splitting and merging living entities was born. The team quickly built a tiny prototype, but the road ahead was anything but straightforward. Showcasing early builds at conventions, they received positive feedback but struggled to find a publisher willing to take a risk on such an unconventional idea. It wasn’t until a chance meeting with Firesquid at Gamescom that things finally clicked, leading to a publishing deal and a renewed sense of purpose to finish the game.
The reveal started off strong with Mario Kart World, which looks absolutely stunning! It features 24-player online play and a massive open world where you can drive anywhere you want. And yes, there’s even a cow riding a bike! The only downside? The price. The digital version costs €80, while the physical version is a record-breaking €90.

Now, developer Matt Dabrowski and tinyBuild have dropped a surprise “Island Alpha” demo on Steam, giving everyone a taste of the mayhem.

Now, 27 years later, it’s widely regarded as one of the most influential games in gaming history, and a key title that cemented the term “Metroidvania” — a hybrid genre that borrows exploration, backtracking and platforming elements from Metroid, combined with the dark, Gothic stylings and RPG mechanics of Symphony of the Night.

For a long time, rumors swirled around a possible exclusivity deal between Sony and Square Enix that left Xbox fans feeling left out, especially with big titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Final Fantasy XVI skipping Microsoft’s console. The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series, for example, was released on PC, PlayStation, and Nintendo but was absent from Xbox. These moves fueled speculation that Square Enix had some form of contract limiting their games on the platform.
