Epic Games Introduces Cowboy Bebop Crossover in Fortnite’s Chapter 6 Season 2
In an exciting announcement, Epic Games has revealed a vibrant collaboration between Fortnite and the beloved anime Cowboy Bebop. This crossover is part of Fortnite’s latest installment, Chapter 6 Season 2, aptly named Lawless.
Anime-Styled Skins and Quests
The introduction of Cowboy Bebop brings skin designs for fan favorites Spike Spiegel and Faye Valentine, both featuring a distinctive cel-shading technique to mirror their anime appearances. This stylistic choice not only enhances the characters’ aesthetics but also deepens the immersive experience for players familiar with the series.
Limited-Time Cowboy Bebop Quests
Beginning on March 1, 2025, players can engage in unique Cowboy Bebop Quests, which are essential for achieving limited-time Bonus Goals. These quests will reward players with exclusive items, including a Cowboy Bebop Wrap and the Bebop Legends Loading Screen. Note that all Cowboy Bebop Quests and the opportunity to earn these free rewards will conclude on March 18, 2025.
Pricing Expectations for Skins
As of now, Epic Games has not disclosed the pricing details for the Cowboy Bebop skins. However, drawing from past anime collaborations such as those with Dragon Ball Z and Attack on Titan, it is anticipated that each skin will likely fall within the range of 1, 500 to 2, 000 V-Bucks. There are also speculations about the possibility of a discounted bundle being available, though this remains unverified.
Connecting Themes with New Content
This Fortnite x Cowboy Bebop event coincides organically with the launch of the ongoing crime-themed season, Lawless. Players can expect thrilling in-game interactions, such as Spike and Faye bounty hunting alongside characters like Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat, as well as Big Dill—a rapping pickle embroiled in a feud with T-Pain. Fans can also look forward to the musical experience offered by Hatsune Miku during the festive Fortnite Festival season.
Accessibility and Streaming Information
Fortnite remains free-to-play across multiple platforms, including PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and select mobile devices. For those eager to revisit the legendary anime, Cowboy Bebop is available for streaming on Crunchyroll and Hulu in the United States.
