News: A new side-scrolling action-adventure game is now available based on the RWBY universe from Rooster Teeth.

WayForward has just revealed that RWBY: Arrowfell, an all-new side-scrolling game based on Rooster Teeth’s global animated hit RWBY, is now available on consoles and will be available soon on PC. Set during RWBY Volume 7 and featuring an original, in-canon story from the writers of the RWBY animated series, RWBY: Arrowfell lets players take control of all four members of team RWBY - Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long. They will uncover the mystery surrounding a dangerous new technology encountered near Atlas. Instantly swapping between all four members of Team RWBY, you will have the chance to unleash the heroes’ signature weapons and Semblances in ranged and melee combat against the Creatures of Grimm and other foes while completing quests, solving puzzles, and exploring more than 25 areas across the continent of Solitas.

Along the way, you will battle massive bosses, upgrade your Semblances to reach new areas, and power up your attributes in four categories by discovering Skill Points. The RWBY experience is further brought to life through encounters with fan-favorite characters like Qrow, Penny, Winter, and the Ace-Ops, as well as original faces such as Solitas guardian Bram Thornmane, underworld kingpin Amoncio Glass, and the enigmatic group of Huntresses known as Team BRIR. Other features include voice work from the original RWBY cast, all-new animated cutscenes from the makers of the show, an atmospheric soundtrack by composer Dale North, and a brand-new theme song by Jeff Williams with vocals by Casey Lee Williams.

Some of the key features in RWBY: Arrowfell will include the following:

Play as all four members of Team RWBY — Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang — each with their own weapons and abilities. Switch between them at any time.

Use each character's Semblances to get an edge in combat and solve puzzles.

Featuring an original theme song by Jeff Williams with vocals by Casey Lee Williams.

An all-new canonical story set during RWBY Volume 7 from RWBY writers Kerry Shawcross, Miles Luna, and Eddy Rivas in collaboration with WayForward.

Explore a variety of nonlinear environments in Atlas, Mantle, and the surrounding areas.

Interact with familiar characters such as Penny, Winter, General Ironwood, and the Ace Operatives, as well as new faces such as Team BRIR.

In addition to the digital version of RWBY: Arrowfell, a physical edition of the game will be released by Limited Run Games on select platforms in the months ahead, including both standard and collector's editions; further details will be made available in the future.
