Genshin Impact & McDonald's Collab Teased

Get ready, Travelers! Genshin Impact is teaming up with McDonald's in a delicious collaboration. Let's dive into the details.

Genshin Impact x McDonald's: A Teyvat-Sized Treat

A Culinary Quest Begins

Genshin Impact and McDonald's are cooking up something special! A series of cryptic tweets on X (formerly Twitter) has revealed a surprising partnership. It all started with a playful tweet from McDonald's, prompting fans to decipher a hidden quest. Genshin Impact responded with a cheeky meme—Paimon sporting a McDonald's hat—confirming the collaboration.

HoYoverse quickly followed up with its own cryptic message on the Genshin Impact X account. A seemingly random collection of in-game items, upon closer inspection, revealed the letters spelling out "McDonald's." The mystery deepened as McDonald's social media accounts updated their profiles with Genshin-themed elements, hinting at a "new quest" launching September 17th.

This collaboration has been brewing for a while. Over a year ago, around the release of Genshin Impact's Version 4.0, McDonald's playfully tweeted about Fontaine possibly having a drive-thru, further hinting at the partnership.

Genshin Impact has a history of successful collaborations, partnering with everyone from Horizon: Zero Dawn to Cadillac, and even KFC in China (resulting in exclusive in-game items and limited-edition merchandise).

This McDonald's collaboration has the potential to be even bigger. Unlike the KFC partnership, which was China-exclusive, changes to McDonald's US Facebook page suggest a wider global reach for this exciting event.

Could we be seeing Teyvat-themed meals on the McDonald's menu? We'll have to wait until September 17th to find out!
