Overwatch 2 Season 9 includes Cowboy Bebop crossover

Overwatch 2 has had somewhat of a controversial life so far, with many of the game’s promises ultimately being canned in favour of more small-scale changes and additions over time. That said, the team at Blizzard have been putting a decent amount of work into each new Season – the latest of which will feature a Cowboy Bebop crossover.

Ahead of its launch on the 13th of February, Blizzard officially detailed Overwatch 2’s 9th Season. Alongside a rework to the game’s competitive mode; a new Cosmic Crisis limited time mode and of course a new Battle Pass, Season 9 is set to bring with it a crossover with the iconic Anime series Cowboy Bebop.

Though details on the collaboration remain light, the Season 9 trailer concluded with the Anime’s main theme song, confirming that some form of crossover will be taking place – likely part way through the season.

Crossovers such as this have been a relatively recent addition to Overwatch, though we have seen some pretty notable collabs, including the likes of One Punch Man; Diablo IV and the K-Pop group Le Sserafim.

It will be interesting to see how far they go with the Cowboy Bebop crossover – and which characters will get new thematically-linked skins.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
