Fortnite fans, get ready to blast off into space with the latest collaboration: Cowboy Bebop! The iconic anime is making its way into the game, and the details are out. Spike Spiegel and Faye Valentine are set to join the Fortnite universe as skins, bringing their signature style to the battlefield. The teaser, featuring the classic line “Whatever happens, happens,” has already sparked excitement among fans.
The collaboration kicks off on Friday, March 28th, with the skins available for purchase. But that’s not all—starting March 1st, players can snag free rewards, including a loading screen, a wrap, and some sweet XP boosts. It’s a win-win for anime lovers and Fortnite enthusiasts alike.
The announcement has stirred up a mix of excitement and a few complaints. Fans are thrilled about the inclusion of Spike and Faye, but some are disappointed that Jet Black and Ed didn’t make the cut. One user, @9aramedic, summed it up: “Only L about this collab is no Jet or Ed.” Another, @urahara1k, simply demanded, “WHERE’S JET BRO?”
The absence of a Jet skin or an Ein back bling has left some fans feeling like the collaboration missed a few opportunities. @skyatbest pointed out, “No Ein back bling is a missed opportunity.” Meanwhile, others are holding out hope for additional features, like a glider or the iconic “Tank!” track from The Seatbelts as a Jam Track. @BestyBattalion even declared, “If there’s neither, I’m sorry this Collab is a miss.”
Despite the minor gripes, the overall reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. Many fans are celebrating the crossover, with @sailormoon92_ encouraging newer anime fans to check out Cowboy Bebop, calling it “a very old anime but it’s so peak.” Others, like @Memebean51, are just happy to see the collaboration finally happening, saying, “I’ve been waiting a long time for this.”
The Fortnite x Cowboy Bebop collab is a testament to the game’s ability to bring together diverse fandoms. Whether you’re a die-hard anime fan or just looking for some fresh skins, this crossover has something for everyone. So, grab your crew, hop into the game, and see you in space, cowboys!
