Summary
Genshin Impactand McDonald’s are teaming up to provide a new collaboration for fans of the free-to-play open-world adventure RPG.Genshin Impacthas done several collaborations with other companies before, with Duolingo and the Discovery Channel being some examples. Things like toys, primogems, and cosmetics have been given out in different collabs.
This is far from the free-to-play RPG’s first collaboration with a food company. Many Asian regions have had promotions partnering with food services in the past, one example beingKFC in China recently collaborating withGenshin Impactby giving out exclusive toys as part of the promotion. The upcoming McDonald’s partnership is the firstGenshin Impactpromotion to feature a food company in the United States.
Genshin Impactand McDonald’s are starting a collaboration from September 17 to September 29, featuring limited edition products for players and customers alike. The promotion has currently only been announced for the United States and will only be accessible from the McDonald’s app. The collaboration gives fans the opportunity to earn unique in-game rewards with the purchase of a “Genshin Impact Apple Pie” or the “Genshin Impact Deluxe McCripsy Meal.” The in-game rewards include Primogems, Golden Apple Pastries, a special Wind Glider, an exclusive name card, and more. The last promotion to feature a wind glider cosmetic like this was whenGenshin Impactpartnered with Korean coffee chain Mega Coffee.
