Overwatch 2 Season 9 Trailer Teases Competitive Overhaul And Cowboy Bebop Crossover

Blizzard has shared a trailer for Overwatch 2 Season 9: Champions, which includes a tease for a Cowboy Bebop crossover. Season 9 also brings an overhaul to the competitive mode, along with an eldritch horror-inspired battle pass.

Overwatch 2 Season 9: Champions arrives on February 13, bringing a complete overhaul to competitive mode, including a true rank reset for all players. The main changes come from the ranks themselves and how they are tracked match-to-match. You no longer need to hit certain milestones to see your rank change, instead getting an update after every match. There are also more ranks now, including a new highest tier, Champion. While the trailer doesn’t mention it specifically, Season 9 is also when new gameplay changes will be introduced, including adding passive healing for tanks and damage heroes.

Now Playing: Overwatch 2 | Season 9: Champions | Official Trailer

The new battle pass will feature eldritch horror inspired skins, like a Cthulhu Torbjörn and the Mythic Ancient Caller Moira skin. The trailer didn’t show everything in the new battle pass, but there are typically between six to eight skins included in the premium version. The Cosmic Crisis event mode will also kick off on February 13.

The end of the Season 9: Champions trailer also teased a Cowboy Bebop crossover event coming sometime during the season. While none of the cosmetics were shown and nothing was stated, the opening theme song from the show was played, effectively confirming that it’s coming. Cassidy’s legs were also shown in the trailer, implying that he might get Spike’s iconic outfit from the show.

The trailer also confirmed some of the new cosmetics dropping during the season. New weapon skins, like the Los Muertos collection and Jade weapons, are coming during Season 9. The Hanzo Cupid skin will return for Valentine’s day, along with a new Reaper skin. Overwatch 2 Season 9: Champions arrives on February 13.
