All posts related to the game have been deleted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Project KV was announced as a \u201cnostalgic school action drama\u201d game set to release in 2024. According to the official website, the story is set in Kapila, the City of Dormitories, and follows a lively cast of sword-wielding girls. The player takes the role of their teacher.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1258\" height=\"709\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1258px) 100vw, 1258px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/projectkv-20240908-309782-002.jpg\" alt=\"Project KV character information\" class=\"wp-image-36746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/projectkv-20240908-309782-002.jpg 1258w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/projectkv-20240908-309782-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/projectkv-20240908-309782-002-768x433.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1253\" height=\"709\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1253px) 100vw, 1253px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/projectkv-20240908-309782-001.jpg\" alt=\"Project KV character information\" class=\"wp-image-36748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/projectkv-20240908-309782-001.jpg 1253w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/projectkv-20240908-309782-001-380x215.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/projectkv-20240908-309782-001-768x435.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Project KV\u2019s development staff included South Korean scenario writer isakusan, art director DoReMi and composer Mitsukiyo. All three creators were previously involved in the development of Nexon Games\u2019 Blue Archive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Project KV was initially teased on August 18, followed by an official announcement and trailer reveal on September 1. Despite being Dynamis One and Studio Alaya\u2019s debut title, the game attracted a lot of attention due to its connections with Blue Archive. Not only do the two titles share core development members, but they also have similarities in setting, such as the dormitory system and the students\u2019 halos. Some fans pointed out that the working title \u201cProject KV\u201d sounds a little like Blue Archive\u2019s Kivotos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These similarities have also been a source of controversy, especially among Blue Archive players in Japan and Korea, who began to worry about the title\u2019s future. Project KV was also embroiled in rumors about Nexon Games\u2019 employees being poached for the title, although this has not been confirmed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u300e\u30d7\u30ed\u30b8\u30a7\u30af\u30c8KV\u300f\u306b\u95a2\u3057\u3066\u304a\u77e5\u3089\u305b\u3044\u305f\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002<br>&#39;\ud504\ub85c\uc81d\ud2b8KV&#39;\uc640 \uad00\ub828\ud558\uc5ec \uc548\ub0b4\ub4dc\ub9bd\ub2c8\ub2e4. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/i08nSNMNSa\">pic.twitter.com\/i08nSNMNSa<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Dynamis One\u516c\u5f0f (@DynamisOne) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DynamisOne\/status\/1832722210160554111?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 8, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps as a result of the controversy, \u00a0Dynamis One announced on September 8 that Project KV was cancelled and that all materials related to it would be deleted.
