Get ready, Genshin Impact fans! A collaboration with McDonald's is brewing. This exciting partnership was teased through a series of cryptic social media posts.
Genshin Impact x McDonald's: A Teyvat Treat
The collaboration was first hinted at by McDonald's with a playful tweet, prompting fans to engage in a "guess the next quest" challenge. Genshin Impact responded with a playful meme featuring Paimon in a McDonald's hat.

HoYoverse further fueled the anticipation with a cryptic post showcasing in-game items whose initials cleverly spelled out "McDonald's." Subsequently, McDonald's social media profiles updated with Genshin-themed branding, confirming the collaboration and hinting at a September 17th reveal.
This partnership isn't entirely unexpected. McDonald's subtly hinted at a potential collaboration over a year ago, around the release of Genshin Impact's Version 4.0.
Genshin Impact has a history of successful collaborations, ranging from video game crossovers (like Horizon: Zero Dawn) to real-world brands (including Cadillac). Even KFC in China previously partnered with the game. This McDonald's collaboration, however, has the potential for a much wider global reach, unlike the KFC partnership which was region-specific.
While details remain scarce, the possibility of exclusive in-game items is high. The official announcement on September 17th will unveil the full extent of this exciting collaboration. Will we see Teyvat-themed meals? Only time will tell!
