It was the pre-air, so first 3 episodes were aired in advance. Regular broadcast starts from today, so you'll get 4th episode in the last week of this month.

Those 3 episodes that aired a few days ago are the 3 first episodes of this series.
That's called a "Pre-screening" , to put it simply , they release some episodes before the supposed date to hype peoples.
It's not rare at all in Animes , and you'll often see it mentionned in the "More Info" tab of the MAL page : https://myanimelist.net/anime/51381/RWBY__Hyousetsu_Teikoku/moreinfo

Episodes 1-2 are recaps from Volume 1-2 from the original RWBY series, episode 3 is the start of the RWBY: Ice Queendom story( Canon-Adjacent and not written by Monty Oum(RIP) or Roosterteeth). The first 3 episodes are just put together in 1 long episode. If you want to know more about the characters then I recommend watching Volumes 1-3 in the original RWBY series( the animation isn’t that good, but it’s Monty Oum’s story he worked on before he died), you don’t have to watch anything after Volume 3 since that’s where Roosterteeth took over and debatably messed up the story.
