From the Canceled Project KV: A Fan-Made Successor Emerges

Studio Vikundi Unveils Project VK

Following Project KV's September 8th cancellation, Studio Vikundi announced Project VK – a community-driven, non-profit game. Their Twitter (X) statement acknowledged Project KV's influence while emphasizing their commitment to continued development and professional conduct.

The studio clarified that Project VK is an original, independent creation, unrelated to Blue Archive or Project KV. They explicitly stated their respect for copyright and their intention to avoid the unprofessional behavior attributed to the Project KV team. This project was born from the disappointment felt by fans over Project KV's controversies.

Project KV's cancellation stemmed from widespread criticism regarding its strong resemblance to Blue Archive, a game some of its developers previously worked on at Nexon Games. Accusations of plagiarism encompassed the game's art style, music, and core concept: a city populated by female students wielding weapons.

Just a week after the second teaser's release, Dynamis One announced the cancellation on Twitter (X), apologizing for the resulting controversy. For a more detailed account of Project KV's cancellation and the ensuing backlash, please refer to our related article.
