- "Their lucky number seven is thirteen."
- —Season tagline
Red vs. Blue: Season 13 is the thirteenth full season of Red vs. Blue, written and directed by Miles Luna. It premiered on April 1, 2015, the show's twelfth anniversary. A direct follow-up to the previous season, it is the third and final installment in The Chorus Trilogy. It centers on the Reds and Blues and Chorus' war against The Chairman and his army of space pirates.
A teaser image of the season was released by Miles Luna on January 23, 2015 via Twitter and a trailer was released on March 6, 2015. Nico Audy-Rowland of Trocadero returns to compose the score for the season, alongside musician David Levy.
Two different followups to this season exist in The Shisno Trilogy and Restoration, the latter establishing the former as a simulation run by Epsilon in the final moments of this season while also remaining non-committal on its own status. As a result, this is the last canonical season of Red vs. Blue overall.
Synopsis[]
The sim-troopers of Blood Gulch have seen their fair share of insanity over the years, but they’ve never faced anything quite like this. Stranded on the planet Chorus, the Reds and Blues must convince two enemy armies to join forces or suffer complete annihilation at the hands of a bloodthirsty war lord. As the final installment in the critically acclaimed Chorus Trilogy, Red vs. Blue: Season 13 is as hilarious as it is thrilling. Between deadly mercenaries, alien artifacts and old rivalries, our hapless heroes are in for the fight of their lives in the longest running sci-fi/comedy series in American history, Red vs. Blue.

Trivia[]
- The season tagline is taken from one of the lyrics of the Trocadero song Good Fight.
- This was the last season to appear on Netflix.
- This is the first season to be uploaded to YouTube while the season is still airing on Rooster Teeth's website. Episodes still aired on the website first.[3]
- This season is also the first to have trailers for individual episodes, starting with Dish Best Served, in addition to a whole season teaser trailer. The latter is also the first teaser trailer that explicitly reveals a major spoiler of the ending - Epsilon dying - though it wasn't initially assumed by most to mean literally.
- The DVD and Blu-Ray for this season are also the first not to include any deleted scenes of any kind. Although Season 10 didn't include an option to access them from the main menu, they were still included after the credits.
