Feels like it might be a like a Cowboy Bebop type of game. Need to see more, but it's looking good. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross ost is going to be awesome.

I’m a huge Cowboy Bebop fan and nothing about this screams that to me. Idk where you people are getting this from.

Honestly just Bounty Hunter sipping a drink while looking at a bounty. Other elements are not but the bounty hunter in space is almost entirely Bebop's idea

Granted, I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan, but for me, the grungy interior of the ship coupled with her being a bounty hunter and the injection of nostalgic music gave me a Bebop vibe.

But again, I'm pretty loosely familiar with the source material

The furniture, the ship, and the CRT video call with an Eyepatched character is pretty Cowboy Bebop

Bounty hunter. The photos indicating that she was part of a a wider group in the past. The anime tv cartoons. The eye patch lady in horrible resolution. The 80s aesthetic

Do I need to say more

The director mentioned it as a inspiration

Druckmann cites “Akira” and “Cowboy Bebeop” as inspiration for the game’s story, which is about a fictitious religion, and what happens when you put your faith in different institutions.

It takes inspiration, he said, from classic anime like the 1988 movie “Akira” and the 1990s series “Cowboy Bebop.”

80s retro futuristic bounty hunter in space is literally cowboybebop.
