Viz Media continues to give RWBY fans the chance to add the action-packed series to their collection with another home release: Volume 8, showing the devastation of Salem’s attack on Atlas.

“RWBY’s worst fears have come true: Salem has arrived, and the timing couldn’t be worse for the divided Kingdom of Atlas. Fear has turned friends into enemies, while doubt threatens to splinter humanity’s remaining allies.”

The Volume 8 Blu-ray is in 1080 HD, with English 2.0, 5.1, and Japanese 2.0 5.1 audio options, and toggleable English subtitles.

Special Features include season 1 of Grimm Campaign (a web series where RWBY cast members played a tabletop RPG themed after the series), Script 2 Screen Breakdowns, and commentary tracks.

RWBY was created by the late Monty Oum and produced by Rooster Teeth Animation. Set in the fantastical world of Remnant, where evil creatures called “Grimm” ravage the land, it is up to Hunters, wielders of amazing elemental weapons, to protect those who can not defend themselves. The series follows the titular team RWBY, four very different girls who strive to be the best, as they team up and train to become Huntresses.

The series’ future was left uncertain after Rooster Teeth’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, failed to find a buyer for the production company, which was subsequently closed in 2024. RWBY wrapped up its 9th season in March 2024. In July 2024, VIZ Media announced it would continue the series.

RWBY Volume 8 Blu-ray will be released on February 24, 2026. See where you can pre-order your copy or pick up the other home releases over at Viz.com.
