'''Red vs. Blue''', often abbreviated as '''RvB''', is a [[machinima]] series created by [[Rooster Teeth|Rooster Teeth Productions]]. The story centers around the adventures of two teams composed of simulation soldiers. The series is primarily produced using the machinima technique of synchronizing video footage from a game to pre-recorded dialogue and other audio. Footage is mostly from the multiplayer modes of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and its sequels and prequel, ''Halo 2'', ''Halo 3'', ''Halo: Reach'', ''Halo 4'', ''Halo 5: Guardians'', and ''Halo Infinite''.

The series is published by [[Rooster Teeth|Rooster Teeth Productions]], originally available for download per episode at their site and later released on DVD. Praised for its originality, the series has won a total of four awards from the Academy of Machinima Arts & Sciences. Although mainly a satirical and absurdist comedy, the show often touches on deeper philosophy about the meaning of war when it comes down to individual soldiers; as well as other more serious themes such as human morals in the face of extinction and the humanity of artificial intelligence. The characters occasionally question the validity of their mission and whether or not it accomplishes anything, a common theme in commentary about the ethics of war.

Season 13 is a direct follow-up to Season 12 and the last season of the Chorus Trilogy, in which the Blood Gulch Crew, the New Republic and the Federal Army of Chorus join forces to go to war against Chairman Malcom Hargrove and his space pirates. While this season is the last of the Chorus Trilogy, it doesn't fully conclude the story of many characters, including most members of the Blood Gulch Crew, Locus and the inhabitants of Chorus.

{{Main|wiki=rvb|Red vs. Blue: Restoration}}
Announced on July 7, 2023, '''Restoration''' was announced as the nineteenth and final full season of RvB, bringing Burnie Burns back as the final season's writer and Matt Hullum as season's director. '''Restoration''' takes place right at the end of Season 13, re-canonizing The Shisno Trilogy and Zero as simulations run by Epsilon in his last living moments while he tries to make sure his friends will make out alive in the unforeseable future. When an old enemy returns, the Reds and Blues must join forces one last time. Originally planned to be released in an episodic schedule, '''Restoration''' was instead released as a full-length film as result of Rooster Teeth Productions being shut down by Warner Bros. Discovery.
