Big Changes Await Overwatch 2 Players in Season 9
Exciting news for Overwatch 2 fans! Season 9 is just around the corner, set to kick off next week. Blizzard Entertainment’s latest offering is bringing in significant alterations to the game’s competitive mode, introducing a fresh battle pass, and even a captivating cosmic horror theme for hero skins. But amidst the anticipation for the new season, a surprising twist has been hinted at in the form of a remarkable crossover.
Beloved Cowboy Bebop Anime Series Seemingly Crossover with Overwatch 2
Tucked away at the end of a trailer for the upcoming Overwatch 2 season, fans were in for a treat as the brief teaser revealed a delightful surprise. Longtime players of Overwatch may instantly recognize the iconic sight of a tumbleweed rolling through the deserted streets of Route 66, indicating the activation of Cassidy’s ultimate ability. However, the real surprise lies in what follows next: a quick cut to the jukebox, and the captivating theme song of the beloved anime series Cowboy Bebop, named “Tank!”, begins to play.
Cowboy Bebop Crossover Speculations and Historical Crossover Precedence
Although Blizzard Entertainment has yet to officially confirm an Overwatch 2 and Cowboy Bebop crossover event, the subtle teaser in the Overwatch 2 season 9 trailer has left fans in no doubt. Notably, the game has previously hosted collaborations with various anime franchises, with the introduction of skins and cosmetics based on the popular series One-Punch Man last year. Players got to enjoy Saitama Doomfist, Genos Genji, Terrible Tornado Kiriko, and Mumen Rider Soldier: 76-inspired creations.
Imagining the Possibilities: Potential Overwatch 2 x Cowboy Bebop Skins
If Overwatch 2 and Cowboy Bebop join forces, fans are speculating the implementation of impressive character skins. A highly anticipated Spike Spiegel skin might be introduced for the fearless cowboy, Cassidy. Excitingly, the crossover could also bring a Faye Valentine skin for the Swift Strike specialist, Tracer. Could we also see a Genji skin inspired by the cunning Vicious? As for Ashe and Bob, the hope for Edward and Ein skins might be a bit far-fetched, yet fans remain hopeful for imaginative surprises.
What to Expect Next
Mark your calendars because Overwatch 2 season 9 commences on February 13. If a Cowboy Bebop crossover is indeed in the works, fans can expect it to arrive within the following two months. Considering past season lengths, this potential collaboration is set to add another layer of excitement to the Overwatch 2 universe.
