Genshin Impactcould be teaming up with fast food giant McDonald’s, going by an unusual post on Twitter/X.
A mysterious note of unknown origin. All that’s on it are some strange symbols…#GenshinImpactpic.twitter.com/g7tr7VkXmV
The tweet features an image with nine items fromGenshin Impactlaid out in a row. From left to right, they are Mora, Cecilia, Dandelion Seeds, Onigiri, Noctilucous Jade, Apple, Lakelight Lily, Dandelion Seeds, and Silk Flower. The first letter of each name spells out “MCDONALDS.”
For its part, McDonald’s has made its own Twittter/X post with a “quest” to text a certain number. From the account’s bio, it looks like there will be more quests to come. They’ve also changed their profile picture and banner to feature images from Mondstadt, which is a nice touch. In turn, theGenshin Impactaccount responded with a picture of Paimon wearing a McDonald’s service visor.

Genshin Impacthas partnered with fast food chains before, like KFC, Dominos, and Pizza Hut. Each collaboration event came with in-game goodies like Primogems, Serenitea Pot furnishings, and exclusive wind gliders. However, these collaboration events have been limited to east Asian locations. The cryptic post on the English-language Twitter/X account could mean there’s a McDonald’s collaboration event coming to North America.
A McDonald’s collab would be a great opportunity to hand out the fancy red Wings of Delicacies, an exclusive wind glider that was previously only available in China and South Korea.Genshin Impacttweeted back in July that the wingswould become available in more regions, with more details revealed by the end of the year. For those outside of Asia, this could be the event we’ve been waiting for.
Or not. The previous two fast food gliders (Wings of Feasting and Wings of the Starlit Feast) were distributed globally via a Twitch event and Amazon Prime, respectively. If the new Wings of Delicacies are given out via a McDonald’s collab, it would mark the first time a special glider is distributed via an actual fast food chain in North America.
If you’re looking to get your hands on a fancy red wind glider inGenshin Impact, or just curious to see what comes next, keep an eye out for another announcement from HoYoverse. Maybe grab a few friends to share some burgers with.
