Yeehaw, space cowboys! Hold onto your stun grenades because Overwatch 2's next collaboration is out of this world. Get ready to chase bounties alongside the legendary crew of the Bebop in a crossover event inspired by the beloved anime Cowboy Bebop. This ain't just your average skin drop, folks. Mark your calendars for March 12th because things are about to get jazzy.
The news landed with a bang thanks to a killer trailer that perfectly homages the classic Cowboy Bebop intro (see above). While the trailer keeps the full character reveals under wraps, there's enough to get our wallets primed and our hype thrusters firing.
Here's the intel we've got so far:
-
Legendary Skins: Five Overwatch heroes are getting a Bebop makeover. McCree is trading in his deadeye for Spike Spiegel's cool demeanor, Ashe is channeling the fiery Faye Valentine, and Ramattra's fists are getting swapped for Jet Black's stoic determination. Sombra's bringing Ed's hacking skills to the table, and everyone's favorite data dog, Ein, is joining the fray on Wrecking Ball.
-
Free Ein Skin: No need to spend a hefty bounty to snag everyone's favorite corgi. The adorable Ein Wrecking Ball skin will be available for free, letting everyone join the Bebop crew.
-
More Than Meets the Eye: This collaboration blasts beyond just character redesigns. Expect themed highlight intros and potentially even some of the Bebop's iconic soundtrack blasting through your speakers during matches.
This isn't Overwatch 2's first foray into the world of anime. Last year, a collaboration with One-Punch Man brought the overpowered antics of Saitama to the game. The Cowboy Bebop event seems to be following a similar playbook, offering fans a chance to celebrate their favorite characters with unique cosmetics and, hopefully, a special twist on the gameplay.
So, whether you're a seasoned Overwatch 2 veteran or a fresh recruit looking to join the bounty hunt, the Cowboy Bebop collab promises a stylish and action-packed way to mix things up. Gear up, space cowboys, because on March 12th, it's time to catch some bounties with the Bebop crew!
