Last September, indie game studio WayForward announced that it was working on a brand new RWBY game alongside Arc System Works and Rooster Teeth. Other than a possible 2021 release across multiple consoles, we don’t know much about the title. That’s about to change as we’ll know more this month thanks to Rooster Teeth’s RTX at Home 2021 event. With the event’s schedule released, WayForward made the following announcement on Twitter:
New details, coming soon! Tune in to the RWBY panel at @RoosterTeeth's RTX at Home on Friday, July 9th at 10am Pacific/1pm Eastern, and then the RWBY Beyond panel on Monday, July 12th at 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern! https://t.co/i4AOTlEvkA pic.twitter.com/QZhKJb8Agi
