Overwatch 2 Announces Collab With Legendary Anime 'Cowboy Bebop'

Alright guys, what sexual harassment case is coming out now. We all know news only comes out about this game when Blizzard does something dodgy.

@nessisonett When isn't Actiblizz doing something dodgy

@nessisonett @LadyCharlie Releasing Overwatch 2 itself was Blizzard doing something dodgy, let alone the crap going on behind the scenes 😔

The grin on Jet is just unsettling... x.x;

Is it bad that I'd rather they Collab with Fortnite? Not even because I particularly care about Fortnite, it would just be less weird.

Cool, I love playing this game with my friends, maybe I can drag them back in with this collab, a few of them watched the show

This brings the total amount of cool things I've heard about Overwatch 2 to 1.

@Impossibilium The only advantage of Overwatch 2 being terrible is that I was top 500 in Europe before I stopped playing due to y’know, everything. If the game was actually good then there would have been way more players and I would absolutely not be anywhere near the top 500.

This almost makes me want to play Overwatch now......almost.....

I was almost excited to play overwatch for a minute. In my head I saw beautiful visions of a cowboy bebop timesplitters 2 level, but the trailer quickly relieved me of that radical notion.

I legit think the creative team is carrying overwatch at this point honestly lol.

Standby heroes, I’m coming home for this one.

@ZimmerRemmiz Well yeah, it's kind of weird to do custom character skins in a game where you mostly don't see your character.

What’s with the ridiculous cowboy hat?
I can imagine the producers: “But it’s called ‘cowboy’ and we need to market it to stupid people, so let’s just give him a hat so nobody gets confused” 🤦‍♂️

Another mismatched vibe for the game. They’ll spend so much money on these collabs but nothing to make the game enjoyable.

Overwatch doesn't deserve Cowboy Bebop, the latter is way too good.

This is why Gen Z is going to have the Mandela effect of Cowboy Bebop wearing a hat 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@PinderSchloss That's funny, and this is just an educated guess, but what I think this is, is lazy skinnings of characters who look like this. I've never played overwatch. But like jet looks like a robot, so I assume he is one, and spike is a character with a hat.

If only this was on Overwatch original.

Whoever was responsible for giving Edward bigger boobs and makeup should be taken out and shot.

Or is that supposed to be one of the Overwatch characters cosplaying as Edward? I watched the trailer and I've no idea what's actually going on. Guns vaguely shaped like the Swordfish II? Is that it?

So is it like McCree skin? What a horrible idea

Oh man that Sombra skin! Ive only ever watched a handful of episodes too but I want that. I guess they're like cosplaying or just 'in the style' of? Anyway..

A shame they put a long lasting bad taste in my mouth when the new season launched with a Switch exclusive bug that crashed the game every match making it unplayable. For a week. Adding penalties everytime it crashed on us for leaver penalty. With 0 compensation. After they happily took money for the BP.

So oh well, no $20 skin for me, or them for the foreseeable forever.

@Poodlestargenerica

It's a deliberate choice for the sake or recognizability. Overwatch's hero designs are pretty damn meticulously made for the sake of quick silhouette recognizability. For Cassidy, the hat and duster are 2 of the most prominent parts of his silhouette that let you distinguish him from, say, Soldier 76 at a glance.

It's one of the things I really appreciate about the game compared to like, Paladins, which has some neat skins but ones that completely change a character's design up to where a lot of the time I didn't even recognize who I was fighting against. But in Overwatch it's even more crucial, since players can swap heroes mid-game.

Nice, I suppose. I like the character designs, but Overwatch's gameplay has never appealed to me. I hope they release single-player experiences focused on specific characters similar to what League of Legends did. I'd jump onto those real quick.
