On September 9, 2024, the official McDonald’s X account posted a mysterious message that read, “daily commission: text ‘traveler’ to +1 (707) 932-4826 to guess the next quest.”

The reference to “daily commission” and “traveler” is a direct nod to terms commonly used in Genshin Impact, immediately leading fans to speculate about the collaboration.

Shortly after, the official Genshin Impact X account responded with a picture of Paimon, one of the game’s main characters, wearing a McDonald’s hat. This interaction solidified the growing speculation of a joint project between the two brands.
