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 sudden cancellation, a group of dedicated fans has rallied to create Project VK, a non-profit game developed by Studio Vikundi. Announced on Twitter (X) on September 8th—the very day Project KV was canceled—Studio Vikundi shared their vision and commitment to their new project.

The studio's statement was clear and reassuring: "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."

In a subsequent post, they elaborated on their mission: "Our Project is a non-profit indie game created by dedicated individuals. 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 faced significant backlash and was ultimately canceled on September 8th due to its close resemblance to Blue Archive, a game some of its developers had worked on at Nexon Games. The controversy centered around accusations of plagiarism, which spanned the game's visuals, music, and the core concept of a Japanese-style city filled with armed female students.

Just one week following the release of its second teaser, Dynamis One announced the project's cancellation on Twitter (X), apologizing to fans for the uproar.
