Inside Monument: Delta Force’s new pyramid-scale battleground

Table of Content

Delta Force on Xbox Series X|S has introduced a major battleground for its Warfare mode – the Monument map, now live with Season Ahsarah. The Xbox release has been available for a little over three months and currently offers three distinct modes. Monument leans into series legacy, reimagining ideas from Delta Force: Land Warrior while emphasizing authenticity through field research and photogrammetry.

Alongside the map, the season adds the Engineer Operator Gizmo and console-focused updates, including console-only cross-play and native mouse and keyboard input on Xbox Series X|S.

What’s in the update

• New map – Monument (Warfare mode): a large, multi-route battlefield with numerous POIs, inspired by “Operation Monument” from Delta Force: Land Warrior.
• Season Ahsarah: the seasonal drop that delivers Monument, Engineer Operator Gizmo, and additional content.
• Platform features: console-only cross-play and native mouse and keyboard support, plus other console-specific improvements.

Three modes on Xbox Series X|S

Delta Force currently offers three modes designed for different playstyles:

• Operations: an accessible, operator-driven extraction shooter.
• Black Hawk Down (PvE campaign): cooperative scenario-based missions.
• Warfare: large-scale infantry and vehicle skirmishes across a growing rotation of maps, now including Monument.

A classic mission, reimagined through on‑site research

Team Jade shifted from its usual “gameplay-first” process to an authenticity-first approach after visiting the real-world pyramid complex the map draws from. The team rebuilt its initial greybox to match the true elevation changes, scale, and atmosphere – work that was reinforced by photogrammetry scans back at the studio.

“We really liked ‘Operation Monument,’ the first mission from Delta Force: Land Warrior.” – Kai, Level Designer

“This vibe is something that we must, we have to deliver with this map.” – Wei, 3D Environment Artist

Sector-based flow from dunes to the inner chambers

Monument is divided into four sectors, each with its own rhythm and terrain, building a clear sense of progression as the match advances. Sector A frames an abandoned town, Sector C pushes across open dunes, and Sector D moves combat inside the pyramid with a maze of passages. Beyond crafted corridors, players can discover tomb-raider tunnels that open alternate flanking routes and traversal options.

Final Takeaway – Authentic scale meets tactical variety: Monument blends a familiar Delta Force touchstone with modern tech and a sector-driven flow that encourages multiple approaches. For players, that means organic sightlines, diverse routes, and a clear progression from desert outskirts to pyramid interiors – all now supported by console-only cross-play and native mouse and keyboard to suit your preferred setup.
