News dropped earlier this month that Warner Bros. Discovery is shuttering Austin, Texas-based animation company Rooster Teeth—and now one of the studio’s most beloved titles is getting a big send-off. Red vs. Blue: Restoration, the web series’ 19th season, is arriving in May, and it’ll be released as a single feature film.

Here’s the synopsis for the film, which like all of Red vs. Blue is set within the world of Xbox game franchise Halo: “When the universe’s greatest villain returns in a terrifying new form, old adversaries, the Reds and Blues of Blood Gulch, will have to set aside their differences to save the galaxy one last time.”
Burnie Burns returned to the series he co-created to write the script for the film, which is directed by another Red vs. Blue veteran, Matt Hullum. “I’m thrilled to return for Red vs. Blue: Restoration, and to conclude this incredible 21-year journey with our longtime fans,” Burns said in a press release. Added Hullum, “Red vs. Blue has been a cornerstone of Rooster Teeth’s legacy, and we’re immensely proud of what we’ve accomplished together.”
Burns and Hullum also introduce the Restoration trailer, released today:
Red vs. Blue: Restoration runs 87 minutes; starting May 7, you can buy it from Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Google Play, Vudu and more for $14.99. If you’d prefer to rent it instead, it’ll be available May 21 for $4.99.
