Recently, McDonald's official X account posted a teaser that appears to hint at a collaboration with Genshin Impact. The post featured burger and cutlery emojis along with silhouettes of three characters, though the partnership has not been officially announced yet.
Inside Games identified the three silhouettes as likely representing Varesa, Akefi, and Paimon based on their appearances. However, the identities of these characters have not yet been confirmed.
All three characters have ties to the "food" theme, with some known for their love of eating and others skilled in cooking within the game. This lineup fits well with a restaurant brand collaboration. Following the post, social media platforms saw a surge in discussions about "McDonald's x Genshin Impact," with players joking about Paimon and burgers.
At this stage, McDonald's has only released clues via its official account, without announcing the event name, regions, start date, collaborative menu items, giveaways, or redemption rules. Genshin Impact's official channels have also not provided complete details, leaving the scope of the collaboration, character roster, and participation conditions pending official confirmation.
