Season 9 of Overwatch 2 is set to begin next week, and it comes with some exciting changes. The new season, called “Champions,” will feature a cosmic horror theme for hero skins, a new battle pass, and significant updates to the game’s competitive mode. However, what has caught the attention of many fans is the potential crossover with the beloved anime series Cowboy Bebop.
A teaser at the end of the Overwatch 2 season 9 trailer hints at the crossover, featuring a tumbleweed and the iconic Cowboy Bebop theme song, “Tank!” playing on a jukebox in the background. While Blizzard Entertainment has not officially announced the crossover, the teaser has sparked speculation and excitement among players, especially considering their past collaboration with the anime series One-Punch Man. This potential crossover could mean new themed skins and other cosmetics inspired by Cowboy Bebop characters arriving in the game.
If the crossover does indeed happen, fans are already imagining the possibilities, such as a Spike Spiegel skin for the cowboy Cassidy and a Faye Valentine skin for Tracer. With Overwatch 2 season 9 set to begin on Feb. 13, the potential crossover with Cowboy Bebop could arrive within two months of the season’s launch, promising an exciting new twist for players and fans of both Overwatch and the anime series.
