Rooster Teeth SDCC Panel: Red vs. Blue Returns, RWBY Updates & More

Production company Rooster Teeth's panel this year at SDCC aka Comic-Con@Home did not pass on the news and details just because it was at home this year and everyone was relegated to little zoom boxes. Yssa Badiola, Torrian CrawfordBarbara DunkelmanFiona NovaKerry Shawcross, and special guest F.J. DeSanto chatted, answered fan-submitted questions and revealed details on programming line-up. So what do fans have to look forward to? How about RWBY Volume 8, Transformers: War for Cybertron, Red vs Blue: Zero, and Recorded by Arizal?

RWBY Volume 8 continues production from home and is still slated to premiere later this year. In Volume 8, our heroes' worst fears have finally been realized: Salem is here, and the timing couldn't be worse for the divided Kingdom of Atlas. Fear has turned friends into enemies, while doubt threatens to splinter humanity's remaining allies. With both Salem and Ironwood stacking the odds against them, and the fate of Remnant at stake, it's up to team RWBY to make their play before it's too late.

The RWBY Volume 7 soundtrack is set to drop on July 31 on all streaming platforms, and will also be available for purchase on iTunes, Google Play and Amazon. And the RWBY swag parade continues, with Good Smile Company and Rooster Teeth partnering to release a collection of RWBY Pop Up Parade collectibles, beginning August 3rd with a Ruby figure.
