Overwatch 2 fans are disappointed with the lack of a hat for Cassidy's new Spike Spiegel skin, which puts his long, spiky hair on full display. The recently added skin is part of Overwatch 2's Cowboy Bebop collaboration that began on March 12.

Today, Blizzard revealed a stylish trailer for Overwatch 2's next big crossover collaboration event with none other than the fan-favorite 90's anime series, Cowboy Bebop. The special collaboration will launch as a part of Overwatch 2 Season 9 on March 12.
In typical Overwatch fashion, the Cowboy Bebop collaboration trailer spoofs animation studio Sunrise anime's iconic opening animated sequence and opening theme song "Tank" by Yoko Kanno. In it, we see Cassidy as the bebop's laissez-faire bounty hunter, Spike Spiegel; Ashe as its femme fatale, Faye Valentine; Mauga as the gruff ex-cop, Jet Black; Wrecking Ball as the super-smart hound, Ein; and Sombra as the crew's rambunctious hacker, Ed.
Blizzard first revealed a Cowboy Bebop collab was on the horizon at the butt-end of its Season 9 trailer back in February. The upcoming collab marks the second time the free-to-play hero shooter has done an anime-themed crossover event. In fact, around this time last year, Overwatch 2 launched its One Punch Man collaboration. Outside of its two anime collabs, Overwatch 2's most recent big crossover was with the K-Pop group Le Sserafim.
While Blizzard has yet to reveal whether or not the Cowboy Bebop collab will see the addition of a new limited-time game mode like its One Punch Man and Le Sserafim event, the collab trailer and YouTube description text tease the Overwatch heroes prepping for some sort of train heist.
Arguably, one of the main things on the backs of diehard Overwatch 2 players' minds will be how much its yet-to-be-seen exclusive anime skins will cost and if it'll be locked behind a steep season pass bundle like its contentious $40 Diablo IV collab. The answers to these questions will likely all come to light when Overwatch 2 Season 9 launches next week.
