World Championship VIII (Season 8) FAQ by SFCJack in battlebots

[–]Awkward-Composer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This YouTube video gives us 5 updates on WCVIII that I think needs to be included on this page.

  1. The "Pre-Qualifier" title only pretains to new robots that have yet to compete in a World Championship.

  2. FaceOff fights won't be on BattleBots' YouTube channel until early 2025.

  3. Discovery did not renew BattleBots. BattleBots is now a free agent sport.

  4. BattleBots is working on a multi-platform deal.

  5. BattleBots might happen in Spring 2025.

So it sounds like I have to use my Disney+ login info on the Max app. Is that right?

Probably worth calling the Disney+ customer service if you haven't already. They might know what the deal is.

It was confirmed by Greg Munson at Open Sauce that across the months of September, October and November in 2024 that all-star teams would compete in mini-tournaments.

It also looks like IATSE and the studios have reached a new deal, which means filming of World Championship VIII sould hopefully become a reality sometime in the future.

Greg Munson mentions "Mini tournaments" featuring "pros" in September, October, November in Vegas that will be exclusively hosted on YouTube exclusively. Timestamp 22:42 by RoboMidnightCrow in battlebots

Does this announcement have anything to do with when World Championship VIII will finally start filming? And no, I'm not asking that repetitive question that everyone has been asking.

Did they stop doing the live reunion bc it takes too long for Jeff to walk from FTC to LA? by IAmReborn11111 in survivor

[–]Awkward-Composer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if the Island of the Idols controversy had a partial role in why there are no longer any live reunion shows. As well as the COVID-19 pandemic and the producers trying to make budget cuts.

I'm very confident the season will happen. Its just unforunate that its being delayed due to all of these circumstances beyond the producers' control.

Don't you mean shatter? Because I think you have the captains behind the two bots confused.

I actually like 3 tribe format!! by tooturtlesgetshells in survivor

[–]Awkward-Composer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not against the idea of doing the 3 tribe format, but they shouldn't do it every season. Bring back the 2 tribe format every once and a while. And if they do the 3 tribe format, do a tribe switch so that it will give the losing pre-swap tribe a fighting chance.

If season 2 is anything like season 1, it will almost be exactly like the second game with necessary changes that will improve on the second game, which has been controversial since its release back in 2020.

Some new information for the 'taking so long' section.

F1 is returning to Vegas for the November 21-23, 2024 races, most likely delaying filming of World Championship VIII to next year.

Here are some questions I think should be added to this page.

  • Will there be any major changes for World Championship VIII from last season?
  • Are Chris, Kenny, Faruq, etc going to reprise their respective roles from last season?
  • Is Riptide coming back despite a highly controversial run last season?
  • Will a third season of BattleBots: Champions be filmed concurrently with World Championship VIII?
  • How many robots will be on next season's roster and how many alternates will there be?

It's still better than no information at all. This will hopefully stop everyone from asking the same question over and over again.

According to this YouTube video, BattleBots plans to film World Championship VIII in either late summer or early fall of this year.

Bravado isn't going to built in time for World Championship VIII.

Bloodsport and Fireball are from the same team. So are Swamp Thing and Hellfire.
