Hey y’all,
We do apologize for the slight delay that has occurred with the shipment of our first wave of items, but everything is now ready and some orders have actually already started to leave the warehouse to their domestic owners! This update is going to cover the first shipment, a beautiful new product image, an update from the manufacturing team, and what’s in store for that new RWBY character.
First Shipment Wave Beginning on Thursday March 8 we have begun shipping the following items to our American and Canadian Backers: Pack of Art Prints, Challenge Coins, T-Shirts, and Starter Packs #1 and #2.
For our international Backers: the items are on their way to their local warehouse where your items will begin shipping out to you. As a reminder, we are shipping from the UK and Australian warehouses to you to try and avoid additional charges to you. You may still be required to pay customs and duties fees as decided by your local government and postal regulations.

Current Manufacturing Update
We are in the process of talking to our vendors and manufacturers who are actually printing and creating the game. So far, everything we’ve heard is absolutely splendid and we are currently still on track for a July 2018 delivery. We'll have more progress info and pictures to share with you (hopefully) in the next update!
New RWBY Character Update
Today, we do not have the BIG exciting news, but Miles and Kerry (writers and directors of the show RWBY) have informed us they have the perfect character in mind and will be sharing more information with us very soon. Which means we’ll be able to move forward and start creating some artwork to show off very soon!
First Shipment Wave, BackerKit Lockdowns, and more!

Hey y’all,
Hope everyone had a good holiday season and a happy new year! It’s nearing the end of January and we’ve got a lot of things to cover today. We’re going to talk about our first Shipment Wave, current BackerKit lockdowns, FINAL DATE TO ADD ITEMS TO PAY FOR IN BACKERKIT, and some teasers with new art! Without further adieu, let’s start!
First Shipment Wave In a few weeks, we’ll be shipping out the first items for RWBY: Combat Ready. This includes the Art Prints, Challenge Coins, T-Shirts, and Starter Packs #1 and #2. We have had to push into early February for this shipment due to a delay with printing the Art Prints. (We’re working on getting some great photos of this merch to show off in the next update!)
All Backers eligible for this will receive a notification on February 1 to confirm their shipping addresses. If you need to update your address, THIS IS WHEN YOU DO IT.
Current BackerKit Lockdown If you have paid and added all of the items you want, your pledge is locked down. You will be notified on February 1, 2018 to confirm your shipping address even if you do not have any items shipping out in the first wave.
If you wish to make changes to your account, email us at [email protected] for assistance.
Final BackerKit Lockdown for Additional Items January 31, 2018 is the last day that you can add on more items to your pledge.
February 1, 2018 we will charge all credit cards on file. If the charge fails, we will try to charge on the 7th and one FINAL charge on the 15th. If the charge is still failed, you will be notified that we will remove the additional items and settle your account.
If you have any concerns, email us at [email protected] for more help.
Developer’s Update - From Arcane Wonders
Hello RWBY: Combat Ready Backers!
We can’t adequately express over here at Arcane Wonders how excited we are for the coming months! We have been moving full-speed to finalize all of the pieces of RWBY: Combat Ready. With all of the feedback and additions that were added throughout the campaign, we’ve fine-tuned nearly every aspect of RWBY: Combat Ready to make this game shine both visually and in play. We’ve been working closely with the RWBY creators over at Rooster Teeth through art approvals, miniature sculpts, and manufacturing to make sure this game represents the world of Remnant, and provides the best gameplay experience possible.
Speaking of gameplay experiences, I’d like to talk about the “replay-ability” of RWBY: Combat Ready. Throughout the campaign, you unlocked a total of 18 different Objective Cards. Each game of RWBY: Combat Ready consists of a battle with a single Villain (Roman, Adam, or Cinder), and depending on the player count, in each battle players will use 1 to 3 objective cards. Each objective has a difficulty of Easy, Medium, or Hard, so players can start off with easier battles while learning the game, or ramp up the difficulty to provide a REAL challenge! We are extremely happy with how the objective system has come along. It is flexible and provides a ton of options that allow players to mold their game to the difficulty desired, and ensures that you’ll have choices to make the game different each time you play.
But, I think we’ve talked about the objectives enough, so below are a few of the final cards!

Post-Campaign Update #4 - Locking Down Addresses!
over 6 years ago
– Sat, Dec 16, 2017 at 11:00:08 PM
Happy Friday Everyone!
Thank you to everyone who has responded to their surveys. There are only a few stragglers left. (Are you one of them? Answer it now!)
Today we will be giving you a notice that we'll be locking addresses down on Monday December 18. That means that over the weekend you have ONE LAST TIME to update your address for the shipment of the Art Prints, Challenge Coins, and T-Shirts.
Additionally, we are going to be able to ship out the two Starter Packs! Starter Pack #1 and Starter Pack #2 will be able to ship out to those that are eligible.
Estimated ship date has been pushed completely into January. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you, but with the holidays going on right now it's taking a bit longer to produce and receive the product to ship out to y'all.
Two common questions we've seen are now answered below:
Q: How long do I have to add more items to my order and pay for it? A: Non-game items (T-shirts, Art Prints, etc...) can only be added to your order up until January 3, 2018. Game-related items can be added to your order up until January 17, 2018.
Q: When can I expect the rest of RWBY: Combat Ready to ship? And will I be able to update my address again? A: The rest of RWBY: Combat Ready is currently still on track for a July 2018 ship date. You'll be prompted to update your address again prior to that shipment occurring.
Post-Campaign Update #3 - Charging Credit Cards for Backer Kit - Take #2!
over 6 years ago
– Wed, Dec 06, 2017 at 07:45:26 PM
Hey all!
Apologies for the hiccup in our schedule, but today we will be charging credit cards and locking down all orders for anyone who added on to their order or became a late Backer of RWBY: Combat Ready through BackerKit!
We will be charging credit cards at 8:00 p.m. CST TONIGHT - December 6!
What does this mean? It means that you will be unable to add on any more items to your order once we lock it down and charge you.
If any issues arise with your payment you’ll receive an email letting your know to correct your payment information. If you need to review payment information, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://rwbycr.backerkit.com.
Next up, Friday December 15: We'll send you a notice that we will be locking down shipping addresses for Monday Dec 18. You'll have two days to make sure we're shipping the T-Shirts/Art Prints/Challenge Coins to the right addresses come late December/early January.
As always, if you have questions, concerns, or want to make a change to your order BEFORE DECEMBER 15 email us at [email protected]

P.S. - You will always have another opportunity to update your shipping address before the game is shipped in July 2018.
