removedRight now, the Zone is going through a Renovation phase. Not as an attempt to erase the past and rebuild everything from scratch. Rather, it’s about working with what already exists: preserving the spirit of the old Zone while gradually removing the things that kept it from thriving.
fixedNot everything can be fixed overnight — especially in a project with such a long history. But part of the old legacy is already being dismantled, some decisions are being reconsidered, and some systems are being brought into order.
addedIt’s a new chapter for the old Zone. No gloss, no pretty wrapping over old problems, no attempt to cover them up with nostalgia alone.

Stalkers!

Anomaly Zone has been with us for a very long time.

The project has a long history, and that history has seen all kinds of things. There were great moments, there were controversial decisions, and there were old issues that had been piling up for years. Pretending they never existed would be strange.

But a long history doesn’t mean the Zone stands still.

Right now, the Zone is going through a Renovation phase. Not as an attempt to erase the past and rebuild everything from scratch. Rather, it’s about working with what already exists: preserving the spirit of the old Zone while gradually removing the things that kept it from thriving.

Not everything can be fixed overnight — especially in a project with such a long history. But part of the old legacy is already being dismantled, some decisions are being reconsidered, and some systems are being brought into order.

Renovation is not a promise that “everything is perfect now.”

It’s a new chapter for the old Zone. No gloss, no pretty wrapping over old problems, no attempt to cover them up with nostalgia alone.

We’ll show what’s already changing with actual results.
