Blizzard has released a new trailer for an upcoming collaboration between Cowboy Bebop and Overwatch 2, beginning on March 12th!
The trailer is a full remake of the classic Cowboy Bebop opening sequence, featuring Overwatch characters Cassidy as Spike Spiegel, Ashe as Faye Valentine, Sombra as Ed, Mauga as Jet Black, and Wrecking Ball's Hammond as Ein! Full details of the crossover event have yet to be released, though unlockable items are said to include five legendary skins for the characters listed above, new emotes, play of the game highlight intros, and more.

The attention to detail visible in the trailer will make any Cowboy Bebop fan excited: blink-and-you-miss-it tributes such as Cassidy's gun being styled as a tribute to the Swordfish II, Spike's ship, and Bob's design and guns evoking Faye's ship Red Tail, our only question is whether iconic voice lines like «See you Space Cowboy» will also make it in?!
As with the first Overwatch anime crossover with One Punch Man last year, these skins aren't just fun fan service, they're canon! In a previous interview with Xbox Wire, Art Director Dion Rogers confirmed that these character skins are essentially in-universe cosplay.
And they’re cosplaying as the heroes. So when you see Doomfist wearing the Saitama outfit, he’s a fan too..
