NovaLogic was the primary developer and license holder of the franchise until the acquisition of its assets by THQ Nordic on October 31, 2016.
Delta Force 2 was a sequel involving a campaign against fictional international bioterrorist organization Da'nil's and fictional nuclear terrorist organization United Freedom. This also marked the first game in the series to feature a mission editor to make player-created missions.
Delta Force: Land Warrior is the third game in the series, with a campaign involving fictional terrorist organization New Dawn. This was also the first game in the series to feature named characters with backgrounds: Sniper "Daniel 'Longbow' Lonetree", Machine Gunner "Rydel 'Pitbull' Wilson", Demolitions Expert "Cole 'Gas Can' Harris", female CQB expert "Jen 'Snake Bite' Tanaka" and female underwater combatant/medic "Erica 'Mako' Swift".

This would also be the first and only game in the series to feature cutscene cinematics, telling the story of a Delta Force operative named John Carter who had taken part in a failed drug deal bust in Tumaco, Colombia and was subsequently sent undercover by CIA agent Robert Jackson to capture or kill the involved drug lord and red mercury smuggler Malik. The drug lord in last part of the story tries to escape by a plane and is shot down by John using a MANPAD.

Delta Force: Xtreme 2 was the ninth title in the series; despite its name, it is not a remake of a previous game in the series, but an original game. It featured two intertwined campaigns involving a Central Asian arms smuggler Alian Khalid who has armed and is using a South-East Asian drug cartel by providing them military-grade weapons in exchange to following his orders and has aims to remove Western influence in the Middle-East. Missions involve attacking and destroying both groups.

Delta Force was announced in August 2023. It is set to be a free-to-play, cross-platform title, being released across PC, consoles, and smartphones. While the multiplayer modes are set to feature both competitive, large-scale, class-based combat (including the use of land-, sea-, and air-based vehicles) and cooperative play against AI-controlled opponents, the singleplayer campaign will be a remake of the campaign from Black Hawk Down.
