Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We love creating games with our community, and Early Access is the best way to do that. With AnomalyZone Renovation, we're remastering every aspect of the game. This gives us the opportunity to hear your feedback early on, collaborate on improvements, and transform the world of the Zone into something truly special with your help.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly 12 months; but everything will depend on how things go based on your feedback. We'll keep you updated!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to finalize the game's story and balance gameplay mechanics (role-playing, crafting, and combat), while also making the interface clearer and more user-friendly. We're considering adding new maps and dungeons, improved animations, models, and effects, and more interactive environmental elements. While the project continues to develop successfully, we might even include story-driven cutscenes, voiced dialogue (at least for key quests), and even minigames. We want to make the world of the Zone an unforgettable experience for everyone!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“This is a beta version where players can try out all the Zone's changes and innovations firsthand: role-playing skills, crafting, the artifact "awakening" system... You can find a more detailed description of the current version of the project in the "About This Game" section.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No, the game will remain free.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We're open to ideas and suggestions through all our official communication channels. Big changes are coming to Anomaly Zone, and we want to more actively engage the community, as it's thanks to them that the game has survived for so long.”

About This Game

The Zone - a rebirth in the best traditions

On the new server, the timeless atmosphere of the Anomaly Zone meets updated rules. We've taken the best from previous versions of the Zone and reworked the mechanics to suit the needs of players, making the Zone even more vibrant and unpredictable. A new interface system, redesigned anomalies, and a revamped economy—exploring dangerous territories has now become truly exciting. If you once craved the classic Zone, it's back -- only more dangerous, challenging, and engaging.

The Zone - new rules

The server has undergone a major rebalancing: weapon, armor, backpack stats, artifact prices, mutant parts and repair costs have been revised. Equipment timers have been removed, magazines no longer break but are reloaded manually, and all equipment and attachments are no longer character-specific -- but they also no longer drop upon respawn or finishing blow. A new reputation system with merchants opens access to exclusive goods, and crafting and item restoration have become deeper and more flexible -- success now depends on your level. We're already preparing future updates that will expand the possibilities of PvE, PvP, and tech trees -- the Zone will change along with the players.

The Zone is about discovery

If you're just discovering this world, the Zone is a deadly territory, teeming with anomalies, mutants, and valuable artifacts. Anomalies react to the approach of a player or a thrown stone, forcing you to be on guard. The Mysterious Caravan, in addition to rich fields of artifacts and loot, also spawns a new unique artifact, and guides and exits have been redesigned to make travel more engaging. Each artifact has a freshness level and a chance to be "awaken" -- a new mechanic that allows you to transform a find into a stronger version with long-term effects.

The Zone is about people and opportunities

Stalkers now progress along three branches: PvE (crafting materials, chemicals, artifacts), PvP (using weapons and equipment), and Technician (equipment and repairs). By joining the community, you can craft, upgrade, trade equipment, and share experience with other players. Every day factions issue new quests, reputation unlocks new opportunities, and artifact containers preserve loot and prevent it from spoiling. Assemble a team or go alone -- stalker friendship and mutual support will help you survive the most dangerous situations.

The Zone is about battles

Battle-hardened stalkers can master the next stage of the game: arenas, PvP battles, special activities, and unique events. The removal of equipment restrictions and a new economy create fair conditions for battles, while awakened artifacts and rare catalysts offer a chance to surprise your opponents. On the new server, we're laying the foundation for even more activities that will appear as updates progress -- the Zone will continue to live and evolve, and it's the players who will help it take on a new identity.
