Anatoly Shestov, the executive producer behind Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader, has recently expressed his passion for an ambitious new project: a full-scale RPG based on the mysterious Secure, Contain, Protect (SCP) universe. This revelation comes as a surprise, given Owlcat Games' established focus on licensed tabletop adaptations, but Shestov's enthusiasm suggests exciting possibilities for the future.

Since its founding in 2016, Owlcat Games has built a reputation for delivering deep, narrative-driven RPGs like Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, and Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader. While the studio is currently developing Warhammer 40K: Dark Heresy and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, Shestov's personal dream project reveals a creative desire to explore new territory beyond established franchises.

In a recent interview with Videogamer, Shestov discussed the upcoming Lex Imperialis DLC for Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader before revealing his fascination with the SCP universe. "I always wanted to make a game based on the SCP universe," he confessed, praising the community-driven nature of the franchise. The SCP Foundation, a collaborative fiction project, documents paranormal entities and phenomena through a wiki-style format, offering rich material for game adaptation.
