The End of SCP Games?

[Iron-Vergence]

As some of you may know, the SCP wiki has now placed into canon an "End Of Death" scenario.
Codenamed ΩK, only a small percentage of SCP's are even able to cause death in subjects. That being said, SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, is no longer in canon, dangerous.
SCP-049's touch, that will instantly kill any subject, and lead to it preforming a surgery, turning you into a zombie, no longer works in canon. However, based from the "research" they have done, Injuries, that do not cause any lethal endpoint, will be possible. Anything from strangulation by vacuum sealed containment for over 24 hours, a gunshot to the brain, mass blood loss >80%, and even most SCP forms of death no longer work.

You must be asking yourself this - "Why the hell does any of that matter? Its a video game!"

Well, the games are based off of the wiki lore, and therefore would go under ΩK "End Of Death."
What does that mean for SCP Games? Well, there are 3 theories I would like to address...

Theory 1 - SCP:SL is inside an alternate universe.

Now I know you might be thinking this is a cop-out for a reason, but it is shown that some SCP's are able to affect reality and time itself, and could lead to the ΩK being inside another timeline, from the games.

Theory 2 - SCP:SL will be adding the biggest update they have ever made, of which will include many more SCP objects.

This seems more likely, since the ΩK event has gone off, death is near impossible, with the exception of a small group of SCP's. One of these SCP's that are able to cause death is SCP-4514, a small switchblade, of which when any of these happen during usage, will cause instant death.

- Injuries sustained causing more than 40% of blood to be lost.
- Injuries that cause reliable damage to the brain.
- Injuries that cause reliable damage to the heart.
- Any injuries that will make respiration (Breathing) impossible.

This would leave the creators to add in this SCP to cause ANY type of death in-game.

Due to the fact that any life ending actions will not work/happen, SCPs such as SCP-173, SCP-096 and even SCP-914 on the Rough or Very Fine settings will not kill you!

This would cause a small problem in the gameplay, as most of the groups you can play as, require you to kill other players.

Theory 3 - (Worst Case Scenario) SCP Games will stop being made or updated, as the lore has ended any ways of death.

This is not likely, but very well could happen.

Since ΩK has caused the end of death itself, the main goal of (MOST) SCP games- (Don't Die) -is no longer viable. This would cause problems with the entire lore inside the games, as the main SCP's inside the site you play in, are unable to kill you. In the case of SCP-049, in lore it is now a member of the Foundation's medical team, and has access to any Level-2 sectors, with use of Faculty Keycards.

(Conclusion)

In all honesty, I just hope that the SCP:SL and SCP:CB creators say that the game is just in an alternate reality than the lore on the wiki page, and the games don't die off.

Since it was a fan thing, what is canon is dictated by the fans. Besides, nothing is stoping anyone from just redoing the SCP foundation, since none of it was copyrighted.

[Komrade Seals]

The marvel about the SCP universe is that there is no dictated canon. Each fan and user can make up their own headcanon, decide their own origins, acquisition, and (if they wish) eventual fates of SCP's. It could be argued that every SCP game made is simply an extension of the original developer(s)' head-canon and based off that. For example, it is never explicitly confirmed that 096 eats it victims, and yet in SCP:CB that's what it's seen doing- in the developer(s)' headcanon, that's what 096's thing is.

So no, this is hardly the end of SCP games, and really will have no impact at all.

SCP-SL is a broken version of our timeline, but in the future, or at least it was a future before fusion rifles removal.

This game has features of the high futuristic era 2100+:
1- Positron grenades
2- Fusion Rifles
3- Fusion Pistols
4- Hydraulic doors
5- high tech keycard systems
6- Micro HID
7- Facility has a nuke that only destroys inside the facility
8- The Facility in general looks futuristic, heavy high tech tubes in HCZ, futuristic lighting in LCZ

SCP-SL was clearly from 2100+

Containment breach also had stuff like hydraulic doors, keycard systems, and two nukes (one that blows up ♥♥♥♥ all and the other only destroying the surface), as well as an HID Turret.

The timeline in containment breach takes place near modern time. SCP:SL also having things like pipes and lighting do not make the games timeline in the future, it just makes it look better.

SCP-CB has slight futuristic features and SCP-SL is slightly more futuristic than SCP-CB because of the hydraulic doors and keycard systems

SCP-SL 5.0.0 or below: 2100 or more
New SCP-SL 6.0.0-8.0.0: 2040-2070
SCP-CB: 2020-2040

SCP games are sci-fi anyway, a facility full of annoumalous creatures is obviously sci-fi

Wrong.There is more than just the End of Death Canon , there are a lot of Canons.You can choose one for yourself , whoever you like most , OR think of an own.


Let me give you an example : I believe that SCP 1471 broke out of Containment , infected all Handys from all People on the World , drove everyone into suicide , Humanity goes back to the Stone Age.

[JohnyThos7]

I really don't get it. You are saying that people are unable to die or something? Gunshot to the brain and they are still alive? What?

me neither bro.lets face it , they are kidding us

[MECHA ENGINEER]

Canons are not canon.

Basically, Canons are a set of stories linked together inside of one plot point (a canon).

Imagine End Of Death, it's a set of stories with a single plot point/canon linking them together (that being no one can die).

End Of Death is like the Star Wars Prequels. A set of stories all centring around something (their head canon) that everyone tries to ignore.

Hopefully I helped you understand that this isn't simply the final curtain call.

And if it makes you feel any better, note that almost nothing/everything is canon.

[Chazrat]

End of death sounds really ♥♥♥♥ and ruins any sort of enjoyment you can get out of SCP

[Koopa]

canon doesn't really matter since SCP-2000 exists

[Imafishb]

The SCP head people trying to ruin SCP foundation again? Screw them they can wank off.

[aismallard]

It's cool there's interest in ΩK, but there's a lot of misunderstandings about what it is.

There's a phrase on the wiki that explains all of this: *There is no canon*.

ΩK takes place in its own universe. Secret Lab takes place in a different, incompatible universe. Apotheosis (another Doomsday Contest canon) is yet another incompatible universe. Your personal headcanon about the O5 Council really being 15 people for some reason is its own universe.

With so many authors and artists and game creators, it's not feasible to have one, unified vision. The SCP Foundation isn't a single canon, it's a setting, where people can explore various aspects of reality, humanity, ethics, politics, history, science, or a place for games like this one. So, while ΩK is definitely great and you should go read it, it's not going to end this or any other game. It's just another contribution to the whole.

[Plookiedookie]

There is no main canon that everybody follows in the SCP wiki.
