Atlas and SDC were secretly developing the ATS, a large-scale technological instrument capable of simulating Aura battle environments, requiring large amounts of Dust to activate and maintain the ATS' operation. The ATS is located at the Saints, and it was near the north of Vale to participate in the Vytal Festival, where four girls from the Saints participated in the battle against the Grimm.

Characters
Characters have no difference in rarity. Characters and skins can be directly purchased, without the need for gashapon. Points gained from battling can also be used to buy the characters.

Combat System
Combat is accomplished using analog controls and the screen moves like a 2D sidescroller. A movement wheel controls the 2D movement of the character, while a separate skill wheel also provides shortcuts to use up to three items. Skills, which number up to three excluding normal attacks, have cooldowns, which are shown in percentages. Some skills appear to be able to chain together to create combos, and depending on the stats, damage from attacks can crit.

The player name, avatar, and health can be seen on the top left of the screen, while boss HP and MP are shown on top of the screen, otherwise, enemies do not appear to have any indicators.

Map progress and drops are shown through markers on the top right of the screen.

Lootbox System
The lootbox system that is implemented in the game is unrelated to equipment, card draws, or other unlockables.

Development
Bilibili announced that it obtained rights to develop a game using the RWBY IP during AGC 2015, on July 28th. On September 22th of the same year, RT staff also visited Bilibili, presumably for the game.

On November 14th, 2017, the official Weibo account of the game entered the auditing stage, and was verified as a result.

On January 8th, 2018, the first PV for the game was released on Bilibili and Weibo. And the official website also opened up pre-registration for iOS and Android for Bilibili users.
