Check Out the Overwatch 2 x Cowboy Bebop Crossover Event

Crossover events and TV show/movie tie-ins with games are nothing new. However, there is something special about having the beloved anime Cowboy Bebop coming to the gaming world in this way. Starting from March 12th to March 25th, Overwatch 2 will have 4 skins available in the shop based on characters from Cowboy Bebop. There will also be an additional skin that is earnable by doing challenges during the event!

Each of the characters and their costume are about as close to the originals as possible and do a fantastic job of embodying the anime. Spike Cassidy, Faye Ashe, Ed Sombra, and Jet Mauga are the four skins that people can buy that resemble four main characters from Cowboy Bebop. There are also emotes, highlight intros and other goodies in each purchase. Players can buy each individual skin bundle for 2500 Overwatch Coins (roughly the equivalent to $25) or buy the Cowboy Bebop Mega Bundle for 5600 Overwatch Coins ($56). While the cost of the individual bundles may not be the greatest value, the Mega Bundle is quite a good price compared to other things in the store.

One of the best things about the skins, are the several audio changes and flares that come with the skins. Be it different voice lines, sound effects, or noises when choosing the skins, there is a lot to enjoy along with the skins themselves.

Along with these skins in the store, there is a Hammond skin, the Ein Wrecking Ball skin that is just as cute as the original corgi from Cowboy Bebop. Players must complete 12 event challenges to earn the skin along with a few other goodies. Check out the event in game or through the link here.
