what if ASW has nothing to do with it and instead it's being made by rt's game division, and we get the fighting game equivalent to the crappy hack and slash they already made

It'a got a legit manga adaption though.....
"Legit manga adaptation" might be a stretch
Their is a manga of rwby technically
Nobody should read it
An official Manga adaption released in japan by a real manga artist isn't a stretch. Like at all
Ahhhhh, so this was the other thing Monty Oum was on before he passed, huh?
Now, it makes much more sense...

Dev by Francepan please.
What? Were you expecting him to continue work on Dead Fantasy or something? He had said he moved on from finishing DF right after starting RWBY
Him and Sheena did mention continuing DF eventually. Lightning was gonna show up in part 13 lol.

crazy to see how big rwby has gotten
Some budget cgi YouTube show that Rooster Teeth made and is doing everything in their power to pimp out in hopes of it becoming mainstream some day. This is just another one of their efforts.
Oh...so he had jokes huh, that's just like him
Its got a pretty sizable fanbase as it is, similar to RvB, so it does make sense for them to continue it. Also i think they are trying really hard to keep Monty's efforts respected, he brought a significant amount to Rooster teeth that essentially changed their entire way of machinima, and pretty much inspired the entire rest of the internet with poser stuff
Evo starts this friday! lol

Character intros/trailers for each main character and their fighting style/weapon.

I think the weapons in RWBY are pretty awesome.
Man, the last time I even watched Dead Fantasy was back when I was still finishing college, back in '08! I then lost track after I graduated and such.

Ooh, RWBY by arcsys is hype...as long as it's better than the other RWBY game.
Yeah...watching Haloid in highschool seems like a world away now
Added this to the OP. Thanks.

Actually, I'm gonna call Francepan as the devs for this. They have experience in weapon-based fighters (UNI), and the work for UNI has largely slowed and will likely stay slow after the console release of UNIST. Kinda depends on whether they want to do a 3D/Unreal game or just a straightforward 2D fighter. By bet is on the latter.
Staaapp, your scaring me.
On the downside: It feels way more stilted than what Monty used to pull off.
On the upside: The direction is strangely more complementary to the anime aesthetic.

Late response but what the hell does this have to do with Namco if the rumor that it's from ASW.

seems like it would make a better fighting game than anime
It is a true shame that Roosterteeth couldn't keep their really good fight animators for Volume 4 after Monty's passing, with Shane leaving and Dillion being a freelancer, and it really shows with pretty much only one good fight scene.
Now RWBY is in this weird position where without the standout action scenes, there's not really much too say about it. It still has the same problems as when it started, where it feels like they really are trying to go big, but budget and time is still a problem for the series. And they don't really make good use of the limited time each volume has, with way too much characters and not the right ones getting the amount of focus they need and the plot not really progressing last Volume. Plus RT is still trying to create more new shows like gen:lock so it feels like they're just satisfied with where RWBY is now instead of trying to make it even better.
There's a lot more in-depth criticism on the reddit, but it really is a shame that Volume 4 couldn't maintain my interest compared the first three, and I don't have much hope for Volume 5 this October, unless RT somehow pulls a miracle.
I guess it could be a toss up either way between Francepan and Arc
A RWBY game seems too low profile for something like Arc, and doujin devs like Francepan make perfect sense in this regard as lower budgeted devs.
On the other hand they have both expressed interest in the series(although francepan is more a fan of skullgirls)

i guess? I mean its anime inspired anyways, but the actual content of the series..is very YMMV. Its not for everybody. THese guys are amateurs in both writing and many other things and you can tell, but they have a lot of heart for what they are doing, and do have talent for certain things. Of course with their chief animator(and creative director)gone since the second season, things have been a roller coaster
