Studio Vikundi Unveils Project VK

Following Project KV's September 8th cancellation, Studio Vikundi emerged on X (formerly Twitter) with a statement. The studio acknowledged Project KV's influence but emphasized their commitment to independent development, unaffected by the controversy. Their message reassured fans of their dedication and professionalism, contrasting sharply with the criticisms leveled against Project KV.

The statement clarified Project VK's non-profit, indie nature and its complete independence from Blue Archive and Project KV. The developers explicitly stated their respect for existing copyrights and vowed to avoid the unprofessional conduct that led to Project KV's downfall. The project, they explained, was born from the disappointment felt by fans regarding the original team's actions.

Project KV's cancellation followed intense online backlash over its striking similarities to Blue Archive. Accusations of plagiarism targeted the game's art style, music, and core concept – a city populated by weapon-wielding female students in a Japanese aesthetic.

Only a week after releasing its second teaser, Dynamis One announced the cancellation on X, apologizing for the controversy. For a comprehensive look at the Project KV controversy and its aftermath, please refer to our related article.
