Project VK: A Fan-Driven Successor Emerges from the Ashes of Project KV
The swift cancellation of Project KV on September 8th ignited a passionate response from fans. Almost immediately, a community-driven, non-profit project, Project VK, emerged, showcasing the dedication and ingenuity of the gaming community.
Studio Vikundi's Announcement
Studio Vikundi, the team behind Project VK, addressed the situation on Twitter (X) the same day Project KV was shuttered. Their statement emphasized their commitment to continuing development, unaffected by the controversy surrounding Project KV. They clarified that while Project KV served as inspiration, Project VK is an entirely original creation, independent of Blue Archive and Project KV, and committed to ethical development practices. The studio explicitly stated their intention to avoid the unprofessional conduct that led to Project KV's downfall.
Project KV's abrupt cancellation followed significant online criticism regarding its striking similarities to Blue Archive. Accusations of plagiarism encompassed the game's art style, music, and core concept—a Japanese-style city inhabited by female students wielding weapons. This controversy, surfacing just a week after the release of a second teaser, prompted Dynamis One to announce the project's cancellation and apologize to fans.
