PS: How canon is the RWBY Eclipse game's plot? Is it like a anime movie loosely canon set somewhere in the middle of a season. Or does it act as a "what-if" story that doesn't matter to the RWBY webisodes? It's canon. It occurs in the weeks between Volume 2 and 3. If you go to the article, the first line on the second paragraph of the Plot section has a citation which takes you to where they said the game is canon to the show.

The only 'loose canon' part about it is if you play as JNPR, I believe, since they are DLC. The vanilla storymode played with RWBY is canon though.
