Just some time after the JJK Killer Curses Bundle release, anime fans are again treated with the Fortnite Cowboy Bebop collab. Here’s everything you need to know about this crossover.
Release Date and Availability
There’s no more need to wait, with the collaboration already launched on February 26, 2025. The Item Shop now displays numerous skins and cosmetics with the Cowboy Bebop theme.
