Update: The much-anticipated collaboration between Cowboy Bebop and Overwatch 2 finally launches tomorrow, with Activision Blizzard officially revealing the five character-themed skins via its latest gameplay trailer. Clocking in at just under two minutes, the preview is backed by Cowboy Bebop‘s opening track “Tank!” and highlights each of the five skins in action. “Cowboy Bebop is viewed as a definitive work of anime for our team of artists and designers. It has unique characters who feel real, and an amazing art style mix of noir, westerns and science fiction. Collaborating with such a legendary anime has been a dream come true for our team, and it continues to inspire us today,” shared Overwatch 2 art director Dion Rogers. Get ready as the universes of Cowboy Bebop and Overwatch 2 collide in-game starting tomorrow, March 12.

Original Story: It has been nearly a year and a half since Activision Blizzard shut down Overwatch and introduced Overwatch 2. Countless changes have been made to the game since, with “Season 9: Champions” launching last month. Notably, the season’s trailer made a curious inclusion that brew up much excitement from fans. It’s outro was interrupted by Cassidy and his signature tumbleweed before cutting to a jukebox that played “Tank!,” the opening track to the legendary anime series Cowboy Bebop.

Now, after a month of anticipation, the collaboration with Cowboy Bebop has now been confirmed, serving as a follow-up to last year’s One Punch Man-themed project. While a complete reveal of the cosmetics has not yet taken place, various details have been outlined as skins, emotes, highlight intros and more are on the way.
