Exciting news for fans of both Genshin Impact and McDonald's! A delicious collaboration is on the horizon, teased through a series of cryptic tweets that have sparked curiosity and excitement across social media platforms.
Genshin Impact x McDonald's
A Taste of Teyvat
Genshin Impact, the beloved mobile gacha game, is whipping up something special with McDonald's! The fast-food giant kicked off the buzz with a playful tweet, inviting fans to "text 'traveler' to +1 (707) 932-4826 to guess the next quest." In a witty response, Genshin Impact tweeted back with "Ugh?" accompanied by a 2021 meme of Paimon donning a McDonald's hat, adding to the intrigue.
Not to be outdone, HoYoverse, the developers of Genshin Impact, jumped into the fray with their own enigmatic post. Their tweet showcased a mix of in-game items, captioned "A mysterious note of unknown origin. All that’s on it are some strange symbols." It didn't take long for the community to crack the code, realizing that the initials of these items spelled out "McDonald’s."
The anticipation grew as McDonald's updated their social media profiles with Genshin-themed elements. Their Twitter bio now teases a "new quest" set to unlock on September 17th. This collaboration has evidently been simmering for a while, with McDonald's dropping hints over a year ago during Genshin's version 4.0 release, playfully tweeting about "wondering if Fontaine has a drive-thru #Genshin" alongside an image of downloading the new patch.
Genshin Impact has a stellar history of collaborations, ranging from gaming giants like Horizon: Zero Dawn to real-world brands such as Cadillac. They've even partnered with other fast-food chains like KFC in China, offering exclusive in-game items, limited-edition toys, and a unique Wind Glider.
While the specifics of the Genshin Impact and McDonald's collaboration remain under wraps, the potential for a global rollout looks promising. Unlike the KFC partnership, which was exclusive to China, McDonald's US Facebook profile update hints at a broader reach.
Could we soon savor a side of Teyvat fried eggs with our Big Mac? We'll uncover more details on September 17th. Stay tuned for what promises to be an exciting fusion of gaming and fast food!
