In the wake of Project KV's cancellation, a passionate community has risen to the challenge by launching Project VK, a non-profit, fan-created game. On the very day Project KV was canceled, September 8, Studio Vikundi took to Twitter (X) to share their vision and commitment.

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 further emphasized 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 respects and protects existing copyrights."

Project KV faced a sudden end on September 8th, following a storm of online criticism due to its close resemblance to Blue Archive, a game some of its developers previously worked on at Nexon Games.
