I'm out of the loop, what happened to Girls/Dolls Frontline?

Here's the Rundown

A lot of people were hyped for P-KV, only for it to be scrapped due to legal issues.

Some fans will blame Yostar for their poor treatment of employees.
Some people will blame Dynamis One for copyright infringement.

    It's not just a matter of copyright. The leads on Dynamis who formerly led BA are alleged to have effectively sabotaged their golden goose, first by neglecting their actual job in favor of working on KV, then by spreading misinformation about Nexon not paying the team what they deserve to make team members more willing to jump ship... when said leads were being paid as well as the CEO of Nexon. These allegations lost them support in Korea.
    Then when they got caught applying for an individual booth for Comiket instead of a company one, they issued a half-hearted apology on Twitter that they then buried under fanart reposts. This cost them support in Japan as well as from the doujin community.

    Frankly, I don't think they shuttered to avoid legal action from Nexon. If Palworld managed to avoid getting C&D'd by Nintendo, then KV, which I believe to exhibit a similar level of homework copying, should have been legally clear too. I think it has more to do with them shredding KV's image before it could properly debut as a consequence of their actions, which were tactless at best and malicious at worst.

    I'm a little saddened we'll likely never get to see this flourish into a game with the cancellation. I understand the drama with BA and I'm a BA player myself, but this concept looked like it could have been really something.

    If this is supposed to be the cheers of the crowd after one of his first brutal duels, I absolutely love it! (I love it regardless - great art) But Zarc was always so underexplored. He could've been so much more tangible than "evil spirit trying to take over the protagonist and destroy the world." He was a lot like Jaden or Luna. He could hear the spirits, and wanted to stop people from hurting them.

    In the end, he just went about it all wrong.

    This appears to specifically be Venus's stage from Mega Man V/Rockman World 5 on the Game Boy, comparing to gameplay footage. The default Super Game Boy palette used for this stage is the same sort of purplish-blue as well.

    Related to the whole schism going on between Blue Archive and would-be KV fans.

    I really hope it would be like the Orthodox and Catholic Split, Sure they hated each other at first but now they exist peacefully.
