Developer(s) NovaLogic

Delta Force: Angel Falls (other names, Delta Force: Black Ops, and Delta Force: Cuba) is an upcoming first-person shooter for numerous platforms by NovaLogic.[1][2] It is rumoured to be expected for multiple platforms, and is expected some time Christmas. The previous title was Delta Force: Xtreme, which was released April 2005.

[edit] Speculation

Delta Force: Angel Falls has been rumoured to be centred around countries such as Cuba, and South America. Additionally, Angel Falls is also the name of the highest free-falling waterfall, which is located in Venezuela, South America. The Angel Falls cover has also been said to have a faint outline of South America, which may signify that the game is centered around South America.

According to a very recent interview, the game is being developed on a completely new engine, that is similar to Crysis's graphics. Other features were explained such as the ability to change terrains on the fly, and its setting being in a "spirit" similar to Delta Force: Black Hawk Down's - as opposed to Joint Operations/Delta Force: Xtreme's.[3]

The Angel Falls image (pictured right), was earlier this year taken from the NovaLogic website, where it was located on the welcome/splash page. Two other splash pictures were spotted, such as one that was similar in appearance to the "Angel Falls" poster - but instead, saying "Black Ops". The other one seen was an image of Delta Operators in Cuba (with HK 416 weapons, and MH-6 Little Bird helicopters), with the title "Delta Force CUBA!".

Some time early 2007, NovaLogic had "accidentally" leaked images coming from what was to be rumoured their latest title. Many people were disappointed at these screenshots due to the fact they clearly showed "recycled" items from previous titles - although NovaLogic responded by explaining that the screenshots were from ongoing R&D, with placeholder assets, and does not show what the game is necessarily about.[4]

Other names were found to be registered in the past, such as Operation Acid Gambit, The Unit, Delta Force: Cuba Libre, and Delta Force: Black Ops, to name several.
