Zona: The Scavenger's Wish (2026)
The scavengers head to Zona once again to find the Source. However, Zona is not the same as it used to be.
It is said that a few weeks ago someone reached the legendary Source in the ruins of the Chernobyl power plant. A metaphysical anomaly hidden in the heart of Zona itself, supposedly with the ability to reshape reality based on people’s wishes. Yet, Zona fulfills the wishes of scavengers in a perverse way. The rumor says that the Source distorted the will of its explorer and spit out new nightmares. The Source used a great portion of its power pushing away the threat of final emission for some time...
