Yes, volume 3 will be released. They're working on making it right now, and they said it'll likely start coming out late fall or early winter.

Also, it wasn't just "one of the guys" who died. It was the creator, lead director, and main fight scene animator Monty Oum. However, he shared his plans for RWBY's story with Miles and Kerry, the guys he was working with who help flesh out the details and write the script. He also trained Shane Newville in how to animate fight scenes, and some of the fight scenes in volume 2 were actually animated by Shane.
