Genshin Impact x McDonald's
A Taste of Teyvat
Genshin Impact is cooking up something sweet! Cryptic tweets posted on Twitter (X) have sparked excitement about the mobile gacha game's upcoming collaboration with McDonald's!
It all started when McDonald's playfully tweeted earlier today, encouraging fans to "text 'traveler' to +1 (707) 932-4826 to guess the next quest." Genshin Impact responded with a humorous "Ugh?" accompanied by a meme from 2021 featuring Paimon sporting a McDonald's hat.
HoYoverse didn't waste any time in teasing the collaboration. The Genshin Impact Twitter (X) account followed up McDonald's tweet with an enigmatic post showcasing a random assortment of in-game items. The caption read, "A mysterious note of unknown origin. All that’s on it are some strange symbols." Fans were initially baffled but soon decoded the initials of the items, which spelled out "McDonald’s."
Shortly after, McDonald's official social media accounts were updated with Genshin-themed elements, with their Twitter bio teasing a "new quest" set to unlock on September 17th.
It seems this collaboration has been simmering for a while. McDonald's hinted at the partnership over a year ago when Genshin’s version 4.0 was released. They playfully tweeted, "wondering if Fontaine has a drive-thru #Genshin" alongside an image of them downloading the new patch.
Genshin Impact’s history of collaborations is nothing short of impressive. From partnering with gaming giants like Horizon: Zero Dawn to real-world brands like Cadillac, the beloved RPG has consistently teamed up with a diverse array of entities. Even fast-food chains like KFC in China have joined the fray, offering exclusive in-game items, limited-edition toys, and a unique Wind Glider.
While specifics about Genshin’s collaboration with McDonald’s remain under wraps, the potential for a global reach is high. Unlike the previous partnership with KFC, which was limited to China, McDonald’s US Facebook profile change hints that this collaboration might extend further.
So, could we soon be savoring a side of Teyvat fried eggs with our Big Mac? We’ll uncover more details on September 17th.
