Genshin Impact has teased a new collaboration with McDonald’s. Both companies have posted cryptic messages on their X accounts, hinting at a collaboration that has sparked excitement among fans. Genshin Impact has a history of teaming up with food and restaurant brands like KFC and Pizza Hut, but this marks the first time McDonald’s has been involved.
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.
Adding to the excitement, Genshin Impact posted an image filled with in-game items, including Mora, Cecilia, Dandelion Seed, Onigiri, and others. Fans quickly deciphered that the first letters of these items spelled out “McDonald’s,” leaving little doubt that a collaboration is on the horizon.
With this post, it is now fairly obvious that an upcoming Genshin Impact x McDonald’s collab will be happening pretty soon. While no other details have been announced yet, fans are excited.
The McDonald’s X and Facebook accounts soon updated their profile pictures and headers with Genshin Impact-themed imagery. Additionally, their bio was updated to announce that a “new quest unlocks 9.17,” confirming that more details will be revealed on September 17, 2024.
While specific details about the collaboration have not been revealed, fans can look forward to exclusive Genshin Impact-themed meals, special in-game rewards, and more.
Previous collaborations with other food chains, like KFC and Pizza Hut, included special meals and in-game rewards such as Primogems and Wind Gliders. A similar trend is expected with McDonald’s, making the upcoming partnership even more exciting for Travelers.
The upcoming Genshin Impact x McDonald’s collaboration has stirred anticipation, especially after the 5.0 update. The cryptic posts and the upcoming September 17 reveal suggest that fans can expect exclusive rewards and themed items.
