The Ein skin will be accessible to all individuals as a complimentary unlock, and all skins will be unveiled on March 11, immediately preceding the in-game release.

About Cowboy Bebop:

Cowboy Bebop is a Japanese neo-noir space Western anime television series which aired on TV Tokyo and Wowow from 1998 to 1999. It was created and animated by Sunrise, led by a production team of director Shinichirō Watanabe and screenwriter Keiko Nobumoto.

The series went for 26 anime original episodes.

Crunchyroll describes the overall plot of Cowboy Bebop as follows:

The Bebop crew is just trying to make a buck. This motley lot of intergalactic loners teams up to track down fugitives and turn them in for cold hard cash. Spike is a hero whose cool façade hides a dark and deadly past. The pilot Jet is a bruiser of a brute who can’t wait to collect the next bounty. Faye Valentine is a femme fatale prone to breaking hearts and separating fools from their money. Along for the ride are the brilliant, but weird, hacker Ed and a super-genius Welsh Corgi named Ein.
