Ever compared Cassidy to Spike Siegel or gunslinger Ashe to gun-toting Faye Valentine? Write this date down: March 12. That’s when Blizzard is launching Overwatch 2’s collaboration with legendary anime Cowboy Bebop, which will bring five skins based on the show to the game. The trailer released for the collaboration also shows the hacker Sombra dressed as her fellow hacker Ed, the Tank hero Wrecking Ball/Hammond as the data corgi Ein and the Samoan warrior Mauga as Jet Black.
Speaking of that trailer, it certainly looks and feels like Cowboy Bebop’s opening animation — it even uses the same theme song. Clearly, this collaboration is looking to appeal to the anime’s fans, though we wish it could’ve happened sooner, say during the show’s 25th anniversary last year. Blizzard did launch an anime tie-up in 2023, but it was with Japanese superhero show One-Punch Man.
Wrecking Ball’s Ein skin will be available for free to all players, but the other skins will be sold through the Overwatch 2 shop. The collaboration will also give you access to new emotes, highlight intros and other items you can buy. Blizzard will officially introduce each skin and item on March 11, perhaps so you’d at least have an idea of how much you’re spending a day later.
