Blizzard Entertainment has finally revealed the trailer for its much-awaited Overwatch 2 x Cowboy Bebop collab. For those unaware, Cowboy Bebop is a beloved Japanese neo-noir space Western anime that aired between 1998 and 1999.
The trailer reveals new Overwatch 2 character skins inspired by the main Cowboy Bebop crew. Cassidy will don a Spike Spiegel-inspired skin, featuring a trench coat and a retro-futuristic six-shooter, though the in-game design remains unseen.
Ashe will transform into Faye Valentine, with Bob also getting a unique look. Sombra’s skin nods to ED, the anime’s hacking genius. While Mauga’s skin pays homage to Bebop’s Captain Jet Black. Although Overwatch doesn’t have corgis, Hammond will dress up as EIN from the anime. Plus, players can expect to hear the iconic Cowboy Bebop theme song, Tank!, in the game.
These skins will be available on March 12. While Blizzard hasn’t disclosed prices, based on a previous event with KPOP group Le Sserafim, skins may cost about $25 (2500 premium coins) each, with a bundle option for all skins at $68 (6800 premium coins). Blizzard also reduced the pricing of the 7500 premium coins pack to US$50 when the Le Sserafim crossover dropped, so it won’t be surprising if the company goes with this strategy again to push players to buy the complete bundle.
