Red vs. Blue is a comedy web series set in the universe of the iconic Xbox video game franchise, Halo, where two teams, Red and Blue, engage in a perpetual conflict in a desolate canyon. Led by the bumbling Sarge and the cynical Church, the soldiers navigate absurd situations and misunderstandings with a mix of humor and sci-fi elements.
The pioneering web series created by Rooster Teeth Productions – one of the longest running in history – holds a significant place in the history of online entertainment. Since its inception over twenty years ago, it has garnered a dedicated and passionate cult following. The show’s innovative concept of using machinima, the art of creating animations using video game engines, particularly from the Halo franchise, not only revolutionized online content creation but also paved the way for other creators to explore similar avenues.
Red vs. Blue’s enduring popularity can be attributed to its witty writing, compelling characters, and clever blend of humor and action. Over the years, it has evolved from a simple comedy series to a richly layered narrative, engaging viewers with its intricate plotlines and character development. Its longevity and cultural impact serve as a testament to the power of creativity and community in the digital age.
Red vs. Blue: Restoration will be available on May 7 to purchase from Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Google Play, Vudu and more. It will be available to rent digitally on May 21.
