A New Adventure Awaits RWBY

Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang aren’t finished just yet! We’re excited to announce that RWBY is joining the VIZ roster of global anime and manga hits!

Watch this special message from Kerry Shawcross (RWBY showrunner and co-creator) and Barbara Dunkelman (Voice of Yang Xiao Long):

We are grateful to the Rooster Teeth team for entrusting us with RWBY, and we are excited to carry forward the legacy of the series.

The RWBY franchise is not new to VIZ. We first partnered with Rooster Teeth in 2016, announcing a publishing partnership to develop a manga series by famed mangaka Shirow Miwa. From there, VIZ deepened its ties to the brand by releasing a series of acclaimed RWBY manga titles, as well as the beloved The World of RWBY compendium book.

When it comes to the future of RWBY, even more great stories featuring the characters you know and love are in the works! We invite you to head over to the RWBY page and Favorite the series to stay up-to-date with future RWBY announcements, and to follow the official RWBY X account and Facebook page for real-time news, notifications, and more.
