- Development Roadmap Announcement - 2 July 2026
Hello! We know many of you have been waiting for news on .18 along with a production roadmap. Since securing publisher support, we’ve had the great fortune to be able to shift our production cadence to ultimately make a stronger, larger 1.0. However, this shift required time and focus and we wanted to wait to update you until we were completely on track. We thank you for your patience. In this announcement, we will give you an update on .18, future updates, 1.0 and a link to our interactive production roadmap with some sneak peaks on what we’ve been working on since last we spoke. But first, our production development update:Up until now, Affray has been building and releasing SCP: 5K via content updates.

- Affray Interactive Studio Update [December 2025] - 1 January 2026
Happy Holidays!As 2025 comes to a close we wanted to give the community an update on Affray, as well as some of our plans for 2026.First and foremost we want to be sure to address the SCP: 5K roadmap overhaul. We had initially planned to release this in December, however, we have decided to hold onto it for just a bit longer as we finalize a few remaining details that will impact what it contains. Our goal is to provide a clear and cohesive schematic for what you can expect between now and the game's full 1.0 release, and we are doing our best to make sure that it is subject to as little alteration/change as possible so players understand the full spectrum of what's to come without spoiling anything critical to the game's story.Second, we also want to provide an update on the status of 0.18, which we know many of you have been waiting for news about. One of our plans that we will be dis…
