Project KV's Blue Archive Scandal Leads to

Project KV was barely canceled when fans rallied behind the creation of a fan-made game bearing an almost similar name. Read on to learn more about this non-profit project driven by the passion of the community.

From the Ashes of Project KV’s Cancellation Rises a Fan-Made GameStudio Vikundi Surfaces with Project VK

Fresh from the ashes of Project KV’s cancellation, fans have taken matters into their own hands by launching Project VK, a community-driven, non-profit game. On September 8, the same day Project KV was axed, Studio Vikundi surfaced on Twitter (X) with a statement addressing the situation.

The studio’s message reads: "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 continued 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 was abruptly canceled on September 8th, following a wave of online criticisms over its striking resemblance to Blue Archive, the project some of its developers worked on while they were in Nexon Games. The allegations of plagiarism ranged from the game’s aesthetics and music to its central concept: a Japanese-style city populated by weapon-wielding female students.

Just a week after the release of its second teaser, Dynamis One took to Twitter (X) to announce the cancellation, expressing their apologies to fans for the controversy. For a deeper dive into Project KV’s cancellation and the backlash that ensued, check out our article below!
