Genshin Impact x McDonald's: A Teyvat-Sized Treat
Teyvat Flavors Arrive
Recent tweets on X (formerly Twitter) hinted at the upcoming collaboration between the popular mobile gacha game and the fast-food giant. The playful exchange began with McDonald's, prompting fans to participate in a cryptic "quest" via text message. Genshin Impact responded with a memorable meme featuring Paimon sporting a McDonald's hat, confirming the exciting news.
HoYoverse further fueled the anticipation with a cryptic post showcasing in-game items whose initials cleverly spelled out "McDonald's." Adding to the excitement, McDonald's social media accounts updated their profiles with Genshin-themed elements, teasing a "new quest" launching September 17th.
This collaboration appears to have been in the works for some time. McDonald's even hinted at a possible partnership over a year ago, playfully referencing Fontaine's potential for a drive-thru.
Genshin Impact boasts a strong history of successful collaborations, ranging from video game partnerships like Horizon: Zero Dawn to real-world brands such as Cadillac. Even KFC in China previously partnered with the game, offering unique in-game rewards and limited-edition merchandise.
This McDonald's collaboration promises significant global reach. Unlike the KFC partnership, which was limited to China, McDonald's US social media updates suggest a broader international rollout.
Will we soon be enjoying Teyvat-inspired treats alongside our Big Macs? The answer will be revealed on September 17th. Stay tuned for more details!
