Blue Archive Scandal Spawns Successor "Project VK"

Project VK: A Community-Driven Successor Rises from the Ashes of Project KV

The swift cancellation of Project KV sparked an immediate and passionate response from its fanbase. Instead of letting the project die, a dedicated group of fans has launched Project VK, a non-profit game developed entirely by the community. This remarkable undertaking began on September 8th, the very day Project KV was shut down.

Studio Vikundi, the team behind Project VK, made a statement on Twitter (X) acknowledging the inspiration drawn from Project KV, but emphasizing their commitment to continuing development uninterrupted. They stressed their project's non-profit status and its complete independence from Blue Archive and Project KV, pledging to uphold copyright laws and avoid the unprofessional behavior that led to Project KV's downfall.

Project KV's abrupt cancellation followed heavy criticism regarding its striking similarity to Blue Archive. Accusations of plagiarism centered on its art style, music, and core concept: a city populated by armed female students. Dynamis One, the developers of Project KV, announced the cancellation on Twitter (X) a week after releasing a second teaser, apologizing for the controversy.

Project VK stands as a testament to the power of community passion and a determined effort to create a positive alternative. It is a truly grassroots effort born directly from the disappointment surrounding Project KV's cancellation. For more details on the Project KV controversy, please see our related article.
