Rooster Teeth’s Death Battle To Continue On With New Owners

We now know who the new owners of the RWBY franchise are following the recent dissolution of Rooster Teeth, that being Viz Media. The next franchise up for bid, Death Battle, has found new owners as well.

Announced yesterday, producers Chad James(“Boomstick”), Sam Mitchell, Ben B. Singer (“Wizard”), and Austin Harper have now acquired the Death Battle brand in a new partnership that will kick off with a new Kickstarter campaign to help produce new episodes of the popular web series that pits pop culture icons against each other in a fight to the death and determine who would win and who would die based on research of the characters.

Death Battle franchise encompasses other spin-off series like the podcasts and whatnot so whether or not that aforementioned Kickstarter is for everything or just the animated series at this point, remains to be seen. In any event, that’s another Rooster Teeth franchise accounted for and, what it seems to be, back with the franchise’s correct producers moving forward.
