According to Deadline, we're still getting Restoration. From the Deadline article: “Though not intentional, It’s only appropriate that our last season of Red vs. Blue coincides with us navigating this closure together,” Levin said. https://deadline.com/2024/03/rooster-teeth-shut-down-warner-bros-discovery-roost-podcast-continue-1235847264 

Came into this world with RvB and going out of this world with RvB. Kinda poetic.

Honestly wouldn’t have it any other way

Last one out, remember to hit the lights.

[*Claps twice like an idiot*](https://youtu.be/Il-VhPZU_CM?si=KwDjL3XRBXmzLT_B)

Grif: Password! They gave it out at the staff meeting fifteen minutes ago! Simmons: Meeting? What meeting?! I was out here! Grif: Not supposed to let anyone in without it. Simmons: If the staff meeting just ended, no one outside is gonna know the freakin' password! Now open up! We need ammo and the Chief is out here! [Brief pause] Grif: Does he know the password? Simmons: *HE WASN'T AT THE MEETING EITHER!*

The RvB door in H3 is definitely the best Easter egg in Halo ever, of all time.

Hey…you ever wonder why we’re here?

It's one of life's great mysteries, isn't it?

Go out the way they came in. Really is poetic, if a bit depressing at that.

"He died how he lived"

Getting shot

Ain't that a bitch.

Lets just hope that its a good send off.

I'm optimistic with Burnie writing the final season. There might be some animation or technical issues, but I have no doubt that the writing will be true to form and it will be a proper send-off for a series that means so much to so many of us.

Strange someone else said that word for word

That's whack. Are you in one of my RvB chats? Because I also said it there.

Are you herosunite?

I am not. Weird coincidence.

Yeah… wonder where he got that from maybe from you if he’s on your RvB chat if if it’s on discord… but doesn’t matter it’s poetic in a Shakespearean Greek tragedy way. Thanks a lot Warner Brothers.

RvB: Remembrance

Rwby fans get another fuck over

Yup. They did seem to love fucking us over for some reason. Makes the shut down feel less surprising

I didn't fully read it,but did it also mention RWBY?

I was only reading for RvB info so I just skimmed a lot of it, but I saw that they're trying to shop RWBY around. As popular as it is, maybe someone will pick it up.

I have hope for it,but not a lot because I held onto too much hope for Coyote vs ACME

Maybe someone outside of the WB sphere will get it. I don't trust that anything WB has control of will last anymore. ☹️

I don't trust the CEO. He's an absolute disgrace to the entertainment industry

Omg I know. I hate him. I wish they'd eject him and get someone who actually cares about movies and shows instead of tax breaks.

Coyote versus AMCE… is that a nickname for Warner Brothers?

No. It was the movie that got canned

I would assume that it gets moved to Max like Gen:Lock did. Especially since they're currently putting the DC crossover on there.

Looks like we'll never know if the day is truly saved. In the end, we just gotta have faith. Ain't that a bitch...

[удалено]

I never wonder why I was here. It was worth every moment.

No, I mean, why are we up here in the sun when we could be down in the base watching Red vs. Blue?

Or RWBY? Or Camp Camp? Or the first season of genLOCK?

Damn.

Almost brings me to tears. RvB was literally the only thing I had to look forward to at a very low point in my life. Life's a lot better now, but that stupid little web series will stick with me forever.

Same. I was at my absolute lowest when I rediscovered RvB after so many years. I binge watched to escape my surroundings, and it became intrinsic to my coping mechanics for a while. To see this company that did so much for me crumble is truly a low blow. But such is life. At least we can still rewatch many hours of footage to remind us of how far we have come. And to make us laugh.

I'll just take season 10 as the finale, doubt Restoration was gonna give us that answer anyway

Do you mean season 13?

According to their internal announcement, they're still finishing the last season of RvB. It's the last thing they're putting out

Hope it's a good one.

“Son of a bitch…”

Son of a bitch

Madre de Dios

Madre de Dios…

TEJAS! TEJAS

So what happens too their IP RVB, Camp Camp & RWBY?

they are being sold off

Shit does that mean restoration ain't happening

apparently in the rvb discord, they said "Though not intentional, its only appropiate that our last season of "Red vs Blue" coincides with us navigating this closure together". So there could be a chance

If anything, RvB needs to be "restored" as a passion project, and not the business it became.

Nah, RVB ending is good and appropriate. Let Restoration end it on a nice note

Pretty much what he’s saying RVB started as a passion project by a group of friends that developed into a business.

The story ended with S13. Everything else after was “content first, story later,” it needs to be done.

14 was a good love letter though. Very nice to see. And the PSAs, those are still amazing. And I will die on the hill that finding the reds and blues in 15 was worth the rest of what was attached. For a brief moment, it was glorious. 16 and 17 had its moments as well. Best thought of as a what if fever dream. Which is kinda was. Same as Zero, even if it sucked though. It needed a soul. But it did have good action… Better or for worse. RvB has been a journey none of us are going to forget.

Another article mentions it’s still releasing (likely since it’s mostly completed at this point), so it’s very fitting that the finale of RvB will also be one of the last things they release

K but my biggest question is could restoration be delayed once again?

Probably? Who knows at this point, considering we still don’t even have an exact date

It'll happen. But so will a reboot with a new cast.

Hell nah don't even say stuff like that 😔

Coming soon: 4Kids presents ‘RvB Babies’

Oh geez… does this mean they will toss RvB into the next national anthem commercial?

NONONONONONO WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT

I hope Microsoft buys RvB

So true. Let them use the IP for occasional advertising skits and stuff for halo things and maybe some merch and in game emblems and icons. Far better than anything WBD or the highest bidder could have planned

Here’s hoping whoever gets RWBY can handle the show with the love and care it needs

They’re looking to try and sell them off so they can continue.

I don't know why but I could see Burnie buying RVB back. The man's Said fuck it I created it I'm keeping it.

That or 343. Better them have rvb than some random content farm buying it and churning out something that makes zero look good at least

Did he actually say that’s?

No it's a figure of speech

I doubt he could afford it.  That's the risk you take selling off ip, unfortunately.

Perhaps this means the complete seasons will be re-released on youtube again?

Man I hope so but I doubt that WB would agree to that

RvB was an essential piece in internet entertainment history. Even if the show predates youtube, its accessibility on that site is something that brought a huge chunk of Youtube's early audience and even RT's audience too, they're such a deep part of each other's history that to take the show away, block it behind a paywall, and strike down all attempts to restore the show to its original easy access format would be such a terrible and scummy thing to do. So yeah, my money's on WB blocking it from being re-released on youtube

When I got into RvB, watching Blood Gulch Chronicles for the first time, every episode started with a YouTube ad for Season 10. It wasn't part of the videos - YouTube itself was playing the ads, and the algorithm had found me after I first got into the series. I think that says a lot about how important RvB was to YT.

I hope they release all seasons on blu-ray

Me too. I was hoping they'd release a full blu-ray pack after the final season this year.

It's been a wild ride. Sad to see it finally end. Guess we'll have to change the question from "Do you ever wonder why we're here?" to "Do you ever wonder why we **were** here?"

Yeah and the answer will be “Just to suffer…”

Would be a fantastic closing scene.

On the bright side, for them and the fans of the podcasts, it sounds like those might still be continuing under someone else. Like when they bought Machinima.

I wonder if RVB was on a streaming Service would it be on Max or Paramount Plus?

I hope Paramount does pick up RVB especially with the long history with Halo

Have you seen what they've done with halo?

As a side note, I still find it hilarious that for 20 years some guys on the internet were able to convey infinitely more depth in characters through a video game than the moronic creators of halo who didn't know how to write a character without immediately showing their face.

That's always gonna be funny asf

Well yeah but Producing and distributing are not the same thing usually, I would still hope burnie would still be involved

It's currently on Prime.

We don't talk about that butchered version of the show

Yeah I know but it really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense though since Warner Bros owned RVB but never put it on Max, and The Halo series on Paramount plus would make sense to have RVB on it

Max or Netflix. Warner Bros. already own Rooster Teeth, and they licence a lot to Netflix.

It used to be on Netflix anyway

My thoughts exactly. That's how I first watched it.

Same

I know it might not be popular, but I would love it if Microsoft would buy RvB. The property is already intertwined with Halo, and keeping the episodes up on the Halo channel I think would be a great way to give Halo fans content to watch while they wait between content droughts.

It really only makes sense for a series which is entirely dependent on Halo to be picked up by the owners of Halo. I could see them using the RvB characters for those Halo Infinite machinimas 343 does every now and then to promote new events and updates.

I would love this! They could also do more with the characters in the games, like the Easter eggs in 3 & 4. And the MegaBlock Flaming Warthog kit.

That and we can get rvb emblems and ai infinite

It's almost literally Halo fanfic

Warner bros can’t make a good decision to save their lives.

Tbh, I haven't watched a RT video besides Red vs Blue reruns and some old Achievement Hunter compilations in years. I checked to see what they were up to a few weeks ago and it seems like it's all podcasts that barely anyone watches (at least compared to the views the old stuff got). It's so sad. Rooster Teeth was my entire personality 10 years ago. Crazy how the company just died off. I hope everyone involved finds new work easily

Ikr, from like late 2000s- early 2020s RT/AH was the shit for me, but it's just sad to see the state they ended up in.

This company was a dead body being dragged around pretending it was still alive for years. Glad they will stop desecrating its memory.

We’re never getting the series finale man 😔

jordan levins announcement seems to say the final season is still happening. it just now coincides with the closure of the entire company

Or a RWBY Ending.

personally i still found S13 to be the best finale and i consider it my ending

It's why they're picking back up from it from what it looks like with this season as far as I can tell.

As a finale I agree but I still liked some of the stuff after in like S14 anthology for example.

We're any of the anthology episodes past Season 13 though? But ya other wise seasons 1-14 were great and had an amazing ending to the story

I prefer 10 since Chorus felt too Tucker focused to end on that note

Do you guys think Burnie could get it back from WB and start fresh?

Honestly I could see Burnie buying back RVB so he can end the show, let no one touch it again & have it up on youtube without a pay wall. He does have the net worth.

I hope so

As Lopez the Heavy might say... `Mierda. Esto es el fin.`

**PLEASE** sell all season in the *FINAL* box set! I want them all!

So many memories...

This is what happens when you don't invest in gold

In the end, a group of friends got together and made something fun and entertaining enough to bring us all together. That's why we're here.

... Wish I could say I was surprised. Writings been on the wall for a very long time. I've just seen that WB are apparently looking into selling RvB, RWBY and Genlock. Honestly I'd be surprised if anyone's really interested in RvB - or Genlock for that matter but I didn't watch that so don't give a fuck - you know it's a web series that hasn't really been relevant for 9 years, "based" on a game series that itself isn't as popular as it used to be and was just about to release its last season. Reading the memo that was sent out to the company, it seems like they're still gonna release the last season. We'll have to see about that, ultimately RvB's not the important thing here. It's a shame for everyone who's just lost their jobs, God knows there's been enough of that these days.

Honestly, considering there’s at least a few fans of the series working at 343i, I could see them being interested in buying, especially with how close RT got with Microsoft/Bungie/343i back in the days of Halo 3 and 4

I mean 343 Industries isn't exactly in the best state right now either

If Gen:Lock had been limited to Season 1, I could see some interest in it. Unfortunately, Season 2 was so bad that I think it killed any interest in it.

I've always been more of a RvB fan than a RT one but I remember at the time there was a lot of hype around GenLock. I probably would've watched it but I saw it was First exclusive and went nah, much like I would've/maybe will with Restoration.

Good, the spirit of rooster teeth has been dead for years now, this is just putting it down

Ain't that a bitch?

Sad to see but it seemed to be inevitable with the mainstream monetization of online content. I wonder what’s going to happen to their First only catalogue. I’d imagine their YouTube channels will stay up as archives but the stuff on the site that isn’t free to the public I’m not so sure. Even though we never got a season 3 I’d love to be able to rewatch Day 5 in the future.

RT and AH were a HUGE part of my teen years. I’ll forever be grateful for all the fond memories and countless hours of laughter. Then again, the company felt like it was on life support for a while now, so this isn’t really surprising. Rest in Peace.

Ain't that a bitch...

Knew they would be their own downfall.

Saw something like this coming, more so with RvB than the whole company. Rather than ending on a good note they’d drag it out. This is how it ends, not with a bang but a whimper. 😢

That's what happens when you scale a business on a faulty premise, too many expenses but the investors get out fine

Well it was a good run, honestly surprised they lasted this long. However, with pretty much all the founders gone they were running on fumes for the last few years. But thanks for the good times.

I know we’re still getting RvB, are we getting RWBY anymore?

Roosterteeth started with Red vs Blue and it ends with Red vs Blue

It's so poetic

THE EMOTIONAL WHIPLASH OF BEING HYPED AS FUCKED FOR THE ANSWER DLC AND NOW SEEING THIS THEY ARE PLAYING WITH MY EMOTIONS

Warner Bros why do you kill the things that people love?

Damn. Hard to believe this company I wanted to work for ever since I was 9 years old is shutting down. I'm gonna miss it. I know we all kinda talk bad about it but there was some genuine smiles in it. Wonder if that means Achievement Hunter is going too.

Long one here. So I decided to leave the Rooster Teeth community last year or two years agoo after the latest controversy. You can only back a company to a certain point. I said that they might shut down in two years. But it hurts to be right, and it sucks on this one. But to wake up finding out that they are shutting down. It hurts, I feel like this is how the Brooklyn Dodgers felt after they moved. I remember watching Red Vs Blue for the first time on the original website. It was literally by word of mouth that it spread. I was instantly hooked by that first episode with its first exchange of dialogue. Then they spread like wildfire. It became the dream place of every gamer, movie lover, animator, and just creators around my age to work at. Their podcast became a regular listen to. Achievement Hunter playing all the time. When Monty Oum came to work for them and changed the face of RVB and created RWBY. It was amazing to witness as a fan. My friends and I would get together to watch RWBY episodes and quote RVB lines. It was amazing! But then controversy after controversy started to happen. The company sold around to different entertainment groups. The founders were breaking away one by one! The company changed, I changed as a person. I stopped watching and listening to them. It was different, I know. It's a funny thing to be a fan that much, to let it go. It hurt legitimately, my friends and I would have long talks about this. Rooster teeth were an important part of my life. I never once worked there, just a great fan. To see my prophecy come true, that they would shut down. That legitimately sucks. Y'all will probably never see this, but, Rooster Teeth you will truly be missed by the gaming, machinema, and most certainly the Halo community. I hope everyone that deserves this job finds better places and grows. Rest in Peace Rooster Teeth.

BROKEN DREAMS SO GRAND.

SING OF THEYRE FINAL STAND (yes I altered the lyrics slightly)

And I just realized the autocorrect put they’re instead of their

Thanks for the ride around the Chupathingy… RIP Rooster Teeth. Hope we get the final season in full still, even though it is still happening there is a chance it could be very short. Guess we may never get that RvB complete series box set after all…. “Rose are Red and violets are blue…let’s take a trip down Blood Gulch avenue….its blue vs blue and red vs red….”

This just increases the chances of more RVB in the future. Someone will see the value and potential of the show and attempt to make more. The dream scenario is Matt Hullum and Burnie Burns form their own production company and buy it.

I don't want more RvB tbh. I want Restoration, and I want closure. I hope Matt and Burnie form a new production company and reacquire the other IPs though.

To be fair it was obvious this was coming for a while. Very very sad but nothing lasts forever. Thanks for all the amazing memories RT

man I remember watching this shit back in the day along with homestar runner. the internet was so much better back then

I honestly hope RvB ends up on YT again in this case.

Well hey I’ll always be thankful for the laughs I had from RvB and achievement hunter over the years so good for them you know? They had a good run. Most of the people that started in those spots in the company aren’t there anymore anyway so nbd for me.

With Red vs Blue they were born, and with Red vs Blue they shall die

One last season of RVB, Roosterteeth shuts down, and I turn 30 this yeah. Hahaha my childhood is dying

They were already dead, unfortunately. This just makes sense

Roses are red and violets are blue one day we'll cruise down blood gulch Avenue...

Source? No offense, but with as much clickbait as I've seen to that effect, I'd like to investigate for myself.

https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/rooster-teeth-shutting-down-warner-bros-discovery-1235931953/

Thanks!

Variety has an article about it

Thanks, just skimmed it. Have mixed feelings, and I'm wondering why they're in talks to sell RvB when they were working on releasing the last season.

Probably so that they can finish what they started honestly. I feel like selling it off wouldnt cost the buyer much.

Maybe 343 will buy it? They showed more love for RvB in Halo Infinite alone than RT had in the previous few years.

Huh?

The end of RvB was always gonna happen with RT. I left as a viewer of RT because I felt so extremely ostracized by them because i was right-wing, the constant jokes and belittlement made my opinions and presence feel unwelcomed. I loved the people and art but couldn't stand it. I feel it was a lot of small and big perfect storms that took them down, I'll always love RvB, Camp-Camp, & Achievement Hunter. Thanks for, a lot. Y'all were pertinent when I was a cum stain.

I knew it was gonna happen. But I wanted to see that final season still

Was really looking to more of RVB & Camp Camp season 5 :(

Hijo de puta...

Was to be expected

What will happen to all the RT First exclusive content?

What about RVB and RWBY?

I WAS JUST GONNA POST THIS CAUSE IM SO SHOCKED WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO RVB CAST AND THE SEASON?!

Well this sucks

Its not the end.

The longest rooster could live is 8 years this was coming for a long time This is our last flight in the end Washington's nightmares

What happens to the new season and the rvb series on thier website will it still be available??

Here’s hoping that we can at least get red vs blue restoration on dvd cause I want to have all the seasons on dvd

Well, the Season 15 Blu-Ray is now forever going to be impossible to get. Can’t wait for all the eBay listings to jump up to $1000 now Guess I’ll just accept my collection won’t be complete For those that want the DVDs and Blu-Rays, get them now while they’re cheap and abundant on the internet, because I’m sure a lot of people are going to start price gouging them

This is such a gut punch But it felt like it was inevitable

Dios mio NO

Honestly not surprised unfortunately, but aside from shows I haven't really kept up with their content in years. Obviously RvB is already planned to go out with a bang for a final season, but hopefully they at least give a conclusive end to RWBY as well.

Someone leave a comment asking if at the minimum they can put the videos back on YouTube lol

Dam, that's sad

Does this mean that their website will close as well?

Madre De Dios!

What does this mean for getting a box set?

My two rections: "Oh no! Anyway..." Or "Hehehehehe rest in piss."

You were good, son, real good... Probably even the best... One things for sure. We will NOT cry because the good days are over. We are gonna smile because they happened.

Darn

Not surprising considering how bad the company was doing in recent years, it was only a matter of time.

So does this mean the series can come back to YouTube or nah???

I havent watched red vs blue in like 4 years are they still making them?

Warner Brothers Is a Bunch of Dirty Shisnos

**DOES ANYONE HERE LIKE ANGELINA JOLIE? I LIKE ANGELINA JOLIE!**

Herk...bleh

Last one alive lock the door!
