From the Ruins of Project KV: A Fan-Driven Revival
Studio Vikundi Emerges with Project VK
Following the September 8th cancellation of Project KV, Studio Vikundi announced Project VK – a community-driven, non-profit game. Their Twitter (X) statement addressed the situation directly, emphasizing their commitment to continued development and a professional approach. The studio clarified that Project VK is an original creation, unrelated to Blue Archive or Project KV, and pledged to uphold copyright laws. They cited the unprofessional conduct of the Project KV team as the catalyst for their project.
Project KV's downfall stemmed from intense online criticism regarding its similarities to Blue Archive. Accusations of plagiarism targeted its art style, music, and core concept: a city inhabited by armed female students. A week after its second teaser, Dynamis One announced the cancellation, apologizing for the resulting controversy.
