Osprey's game release for January 2020 is called Zona Alfa.
This is their blurb on it:
Zona Alfa is a set of simple, fast-play skirmish rules for scavenging, exploring, and surviving in a near-future, post-apocalyptic Eastern European setting. Players take on the role of bandits, mercenaries, and military units fighting over the blasted Exclusion Zone and its abandoned artefacts. Customise your fighters with a variety of weapons and specialisms to create your ideal warband. With extended rules for campaigns, character progression, terrain, and environmental hazards, Zona Alfa contains all the tools required to engage in blistering firefights within the Exclusion Zone.
I've not seen it yet, so I don't know how it plays etc, but it seems very Roadside Picnic/ STALKER to me.
You can pre-order it here: http://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=14483 (http://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=14483)
We're not making a figure range to accompany it, but we do stock Copplestone Castings Future Wars range. Mark made this range many years ago of course, so it's not designed for the game, but Mark was influenced by the same sources. I think there's lots of figures you can use in the range. For that reason, if you pre-order a copy of Zona Alfa through North Star, you can choose a pack of Future Wars figures to go with it, for free.
Offer ends 31st December.

This reminds me of Shadowrun's SOX. Will there be rules for magic and the like?
-
I don't know. I'm sure the reviews will start appearing online soon.
There's a flipthrough here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK4s6uKUE7E&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR1DuEqHMG3rTSeQMjBY1mF6jXdwnieHyxmvuR_zUX9B2cjeBSjn8IIiJLk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK4s6uKUE7E&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR1DuEqHMG3rTSeQMjBY1mF6jXdwnieHyxmvuR_zUX9B2cjeBSjn8IIiJLk)

:( I really can't use this right now! I already sold my soul to Necromunda and now this awesome piece of gaming goodness comes along?
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was epic though! I always wanted to do something similar in tabletop.

It is my top birthday gift request to the wife/son. The pack of Copplestone figures really sealed it for me.
-
My copy should be here next month and I'm pumped.

On Northstar website is written: "PRE-ORDER BEFORE 29th DECEMBER" (https://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=14483 (https://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=14483)) which one is correct?
-
I put 29th because I thought I'd not have access to the internet today, but I have so the offer is extended till tonight.
-
Ordered! With some more figures, of course :D :D :D
-
Order placed. With another pack of figures to make a decent sized force. ;)

These rules were on my tobuy list for next year, but I'd completely missed your initial post.

Just ordered...right in time :P
Happy New Year!
-
And just ordered mine. :D Thanks to Nick at North Star for keeping the offer open.

It's gone now though.
The release date is the 23rd, but Osprey sometimes randomly send me the books early. Sometimes. So I'm not sure when we'll be shipping orders out. 24th Jan the latest.

Zona Alfa has just come in. We're shipping now!
