Genshin Impact and McDonald's Tease Enigma Collab

Get ready, Genshin Impact fans! A delicious collaboration is brewing between the popular RPG and McDonald's. This exciting partnership was teased through a series of cryptic social media posts.

Genshin Impact x McDonald's: A Teyvat Treat

The collaboration began with a playful tweet from McDonald's, prompting fans to participate in a "guess the next quest" challenge. Genshin Impact responded with a playful meme featuring Paimon sporting a McDonald's hat, confirming the exciting news.

Following this, Genshin Impact's social media accounts shared a cryptic image of in-game items, the initials of which subtly spelled out "McDonald's." McDonald's further fueled the anticipation by updating their social media profiles with Genshin-themed elements, announcing a "new quest" unlocking on September 17th.

This collaboration isn't entirely unexpected. McDonald's hinted at a potential partnership over a year ago, following the release of Genshin Impact's Version 4.0.

Genshin Impact has a proven track record of successful collaborations, ranging from video game partnerships (like Horizon: Zero Dawn) to real-world brands (including Cadillac). Even KFC in China previously collaborated, offering exclusive in-game items and merchandise.

While details remain scarce, the McDonald's collaboration hints at a global reach, unlike the previous KFC partnership which was China-specific. The change on McDonald's US Facebook page suggests a wider rollout.

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