Sooo….about that RWBY RTX At Home Panel…

Hello all you happy people and members of the RWBY FNDM community, it’s your friendly neighbourhood squiggle meister here. Assuming that some of you folks weren’t able to attend the RWBY RTX At Home Panel, not to worry, here’s a quick summary of some of the more important details from the panel:

Let’s get the big one out of the way. RWBY Volume 8 is (hopefully) set to premiere November 7th, 2020 with a total of 14 episodes. It is also said that Volumes 8 and 9 are supposed to flow directly into each other much like how Volume 8 is taking place directly from where the last season left off.

A trailer was previewed during the panel. Hopefully it will be released on the official RT YouTube, much like the RVB Zero trailer that debuted yesterday.

The JNPR Anthology is still in the works and unlike the RWBY Anthology books which had one book dedicated to each member of Team RWBY, it seems that JNPR’s will be shared---so a book dedicated to the whole team as to opposed to each individual member.

A new RWBY videogame is said to be in the works as part of a collaboration between Roosterteeth, Wayforward and Arc System’s Works. According to the panel, the timeline for the game’s story setting is hinted to be set somewhere between the events of Volume 7. The game will be available for both PC and console with a release date estimated for some time next year 2021.

During the Q&A Panel, one fan asked for more character birthday reveals and we got the birthdays for the remaining members of Team RWBY. So according to the panel, Weiss’ birthday is May 15th, Blake’s birthday is January 19th and finally Yang’s birthday is July 28th. So all the members of RWBY’s birthdays have officially been revealed. (A moment of silence for us Pineheads who have been itching for Oscar’s birthday to be revealed).

According to RWBY showrunner: Kerry Shawcross---there will be many hugs throughout Volume 8 and one of them was even teased during the trailer---a hug between Ruby and Penny for all the Nuts and Dolts fans.

A JNPR Expansion Pack for the RWBY Combat Ready Board Game is set to be released soon.

In terms of merchandise:

Yang’s V7 bomber jacket will be available for purchase in the RT store along with Penny Polendina and Neopolitan hoodies with some RWBY pins.

There will Nendoroid dolls and Geeki Tikki mugs of Team RWBY

Ruby and Weiss have new figurines.

Eddy talked about the RWBY Fairytales of Remnant book that was released recently and mentioned that it will talked more at the Scholastic RTX Panel (I believe)

It was also announced that RWBY will have its own brand of coffee---I didn’t quite catch the exact name but I believe it’ll be called “King’s Coast Coffee”and it was also mentioned by Eddy Rivas that the coffee blend will make a cameo in a future episode of RWBY.

And that’s pretty much all that I gathered from the panel.
