Hmmm...

An MMO could potentially work, in theory. If RWBY was running for a lot longer than it has been, it would have enough of a world, combat abilities, and potential to become a viable MMO.

Fighting game? Other than requiring a few more combat-characters than we've seen, I don't have problems with that. Just as long as it has a storyline, like SSBB's Subspace Emissary.

Hack-and-slash? I'm not too sure about that one. Don't get me wrong, the RWBYVerse is practically tailored for that genre, but I don't really see much appeal there: we'd just be reenacting Ruby vs. Beowolves, or JNPR vs. Deathstalker.

But then again, I'm speaking as someone who has never touched a game of this genre, so if my views are erroneous, then don't hold it against me, or tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about, because I know I don't.

To be honest, I would like to see a game that acts like a combination of the premise of Left 4 Dead and the mechanics of Halo 4's Spartan Ops. Basically, just a team of 4 using various preselected abilities and weapons to get from Point A to Point B, fighting a massive Grimm incursion along the way. I know it would hardly be canon, but let's face it, this game idea is not meant to be story-oriented.
