It was confirmed much earlier than that, but the shorter hiatus announcement happened some other time.

As a more recent development, the video that announced the RWBY movie theatre screenings announced that Volume 4 is going to be entirely in VR (which I don't actually know what that is, but I'm sure you guys do and I can guess).
