“Originally, we wanted to introduce Rose Squad in the first Eclipse Warfare game as the main cast of its Extinction mode, but ultimately, that plan changed and we didn't include them. However, I then got the idea that they played such an important role in the Eclipse Universe that instead of being in a side mode, they should get their own game. Thus, our trilogy came to life. Of course, at the time, we were still working on Call of Duty: Resistance and the Call of Duty Infection games, so we had to wait a little bit. Though, I did get some of our concept artists to do some pre-production work and they went to Jesse Loon, Rose Squad's creator, for some ideas and his opinion. He was okay with it, naturally, as he expressed in the past that he always wanted to see Rose Squad in a video game. After we wrapped up on Rise of the Hive, we began our production on the Rose Squad game that eventually became known as Call of Duty: Extinction.”
―Design Director Anakin Nakamura

The Rose Squad Trilogy is a spin-off video game series of the Eclipse Warfare series, and was created mainly by Nakamura Interactive design director and writer Anakin Nakamura, and mainly focuses on the Extinction game mode first introduced in Call of Duty: Ghosts.

The Trilogy doesn't focus on the Second Galactic War but instead focusing on an Eclipse Special Operations team called Rose Squad who are led by Titan-SS Commander Ruby Rose as they are the first to discover the Korman species in 2043 and unintentionally beginning the First Korman Conflict with the Korma Empire.

In Extinction, players mainly play as Rose Squad with a secondary and third story arcs puts players into the shoes of the 241st Company and the 180th Alpha Group, respectively. With the 180th Alpha Group, players are far into the future as soldiers of the New Eclipse Army.

In Age of Extinction, players are once again in the shoes of Rose Squad, but are also introduced to Arc Squad who are featured in the first mission. Players also play as another fireteam in the Black Armoury experience.

Retribution grounds the playable characters to just Rose Squad and brings back Campaign Mode, which focuses on a second war with the Korma Empire, as they begin a galactic invasion and destroy the Luna Shipyards.

Nakamura Interactive later rebooted their trilogy with Eclipse Universe: Rose Squad - Extinction, retconning a major plot point in Call of Duty: Retribution. Following the direction of Rose Squad's creator Jesse Loon, Nakamura Interactive revealed that the TITANs would look a little different and reverted back to their original names, dropping the RWBY names of all four characters.
