Toshimasa Suzuki will direct the anime at SHAFT while Kenjiro Okada will serve as chief director. Gen Urobuchi is credited for conceptualizing the anime while Tow Ubukata is writing the scripts.

Lindsay Jones will play Ruby, Kara Eberle returns as Weiss, Arryn Zech will be back as Blake, and Barbara Dunkelman reprises her role as Yang.
The official synopsis for RBWY: Ice Queendom reads as follows:
RWBY: Ice Queendom' presents RWBY in beautiful 2D anime visuals. RWBY imagines a world filled with horrific monsters bent on death and destruction, and humanity's only hope is dependent upon powerful Huntsmen and Huntresses. Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long are four such Huntresses in training whose journeys will take them far past the grounds of their school, Beacon Academy. Though each may be powerful on their own, these four girls must overcome dark forces and work as a team if they truly hope to become the next generation of Remnant's protectors.
This is truly exciting news considering that it has been some time since there were any updates on the franchise. Luckily, it looks like we'll be looking forward to a new anime later this year.
RBWY: Ice Queendom has not yet been given an official release date but is set to premiere in 2022.
