Get ready, Genshin Impact travelers! A delicious collaboration is brewing between the hit RPG and McDonald's!
Genshin Impact x McDonald's: A Teyvat-Sized Treat
A Taste of Adventure
Genshin Impact and McDonald's are teasing a collaboration through a series of playful and cryptic tweets! The fast-food giant started the ball rolling with a tweet prompting fans to text a number for a “next quest” clue. Genshin Impact responded with a cheeky meme featuring Paimon sporting a McDonald's hat, confirming the exciting news.
HoYoverse quickly followed up with a cryptic post featuring Genshin Impact items whose initials cleverly spelled out "McDonald's." The mystery deepened, but fans were quick to crack the code!
McDonald's social media accounts then joined the fun, updating their profiles with Genshin-themed elements and hinting at a "new quest" launching September 17th.
This collaboration has clearly been in the works for some time. McDonald's even playfully hinted at a partnership over a year ago, around the release of Genshin Impact's Version 4.0, tweeting about Fontaine and drive-thrus.
Genshin Impact boasts an impressive history of collaborations, partnering with everyone from Horizon: Zero Dawn to Cadillac, and even KFC in China (resulting in exclusive in-game items and limited-edition toys).
While details remain scarce, this McDonald's collaboration has the potential for global reach. Unlike the KFC partnership, which was China-specific, updates to McDonald's US Facebook page suggest a broader rollout.
Could we be seeing Teyvat-themed menu items or in-game rewards? We'll have to wait until September 17th to find out!
