From the Ashes of Project KV’s Cancellation Rises a Fan-Made Game

Studio Vikundi Surfaces with Project VK

In the wake of Project KV's cancellation, the gaming community has not sat idly by. Instead, they've rallied together to launch Project VK, a non-profit, fan-driven game. On the very day Project KV was discontinued, September 8th, Studio Vikundi emerged on Twitter (X) with a powerful statement about their new endeavor.

The studio declared, "That particular project was indeed an inspiration behind our project. Despite the event, like how a group of responsible adults should, the development team will continue its work on the project as usual without any disruptions. The Studio Vikundi development team will continue our endeavor to meet your expectations."

"Our Project is a non-profit indie game created by dedicated individuals," the studio further explained in another post. "It has no connection with Blue Archive or Project KV. Our project was initiated by fans who were disappointed in the Project KV team due to their unprofessional behaviors. Therefore, we promise we will not behave like they did. This project is entirely original and is not a copy of Blue Archive or Project KV; we respect and protect existing copyrights."

Project KV met its end on September 8th after facing severe online backlash for its uncanny similarities to Blue Archive, a game developed by some of the same developers during their time at Nexon Games. The accusations of plagiarism spanned the game's visual style, music, and even its core concept of a Japanese-style city filled with armed female students.

Just one week after unveiling its second teaser, Dynamis One announced the project's cancellation on Twitter (X), offering their apologies to fans caught in the controversy. To understand more about Project KV's downfall and the resulting fan reaction, dive into our detailed article below!
