Blizzard unleashed a gameplay trailer for the Overwatch 2 x Cowboy Bebop crossover, and players have already labeled it “peak” content.
On March 12, the popular hero shooter will receive new cosmetics inspired by Cowboy Bebop. Notably, fans can expect the following matchups: Ashe as Faye Valentine, Cassidy as Spike Spiegel, Mauga as Jet Black, Sombra as Ed, and Wrecking Ball as Ein.
A newly released gameplay trailer has offered a closer look at all of the above. And, so far, both fandoms seem impressed by the upcoming content release.

Responses to the trailer are largely positive. For one, several comments feature “take my money” memes, particularly for the Ashe/Faye Valentine cosmetic. “Can’t get over how ACCURATE the Ashe skin is,” reads one reply with dozens of likes.
According to one quote tweet, “This Cowboy Bebop x Overwatch 2 collab is peak!”
“Y’all actually ate with this,” reads yet another comment in all caps.
However, some wish the designs were a bit more fine-tuned. One person said the Cassidy as Spike skin “looks kinda funky.”
Another conflicted Spike fan added, “This man is NOT my Spike Spiegel.”
While Ashe will likely be a fan-favorite purchase, it seems Spike lovers remainhesitant about the upcoming crossover.
