Stalzone

STALZONE is a PvPvE extraction shooter set in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, a persistent world twisted by anomalies and divided between rival factions. You explore the Zone, choose a faction and learn which routes are safer, while weighing the risk of each journey. The world has no escape timers or progression wipes: NPCs live there, factions fight over territory, and players shape what happens.

Story and quests

A cinematic storyline combines main and side quests with action, dialogue and choices that affect the story. The campaign runs for more than 50 hours and introduces the Zone, its dangers, factions and mechanics as you progress. It offers a guided narrative journey within the persistent online world.

Risk and progression

You keep your gear and long-term progress when you die, but loot you find remains at risk until you bring it back alive. You can upgrade weapons and refine your build; your character, reputation, equipment, faction ties and place in the world persist over time. Victory in gunfights depends on aim, tactics and game knowledge, not just equipment. The game has more than 200 realistic weapons with deep customization, and matchmaking pairs players of similar power. Higher-tier gear brings higher-tier danger, while success still depends primarily on skill and experience.

Factions and community

The Zone’s social systems include open-world events, faction conflicts, social hubs and a player-driven market. You can trade, cooperate in squads of up to five players, ambush or betray others, and build a reputation. Proximity voice chat lets you hear nearby players before you see them, making encounters a chance for negotiation, deception or a standoff. Years of updates, feedback, balance changes and player behavior have shaped the world’s systems and culture.

Weapons and fair play

The game runs on its own engine and uses EXENS, an in-house anti-cheat system supported by a dedicated team. Its monetization focuses on cosmetics and optional progression support rather than buying power. Everything can be earned in-game, and paid skins or boosters can also be obtained through the player-driven marketplace.
