RWBY Volume 8 ended on a major cliffhanger. Antagonists Salem and Cinder finally secured two Relics of the Remnant, bringing them closer to Salem’s plan for destroying the world. Meanwhile, the kingdoms of Atlas and Mantle were destroyed as Ace-Ops watched in horror. Ruby Rose’s signature weapon, Crescent Moon, was also stabbed.
The trailer for Volume 9 sees Team RWBY forced into an unknown world, deemed the “Ever After”. It shows the team exploring this new world and the description for the trailer references they might be familiar with this new place after all. It’s an interesting tease of what comes next, suggesting that Volume 9 will be an exciting entry. While RWBY Volume 8 ended on a harrowing note, audiences will soon learn what happens when the story continues early next year.
