Covid-19 has done what the “magic of the abyss” is unlikely to be able to do, which is causing Diluc and Noelle to lose part-time jobs at KFC.
The cooperation event between Genshin Impact and fast food brand KFC was seriously affected when the event of eating fried chicken with Diluc and Noelle to receive gifts was canceled in some places. Specifically, according to a notice from the Weibo page of KFC China branch, there were stores in Shanghai and Hangzhou that had to cancel the event because of concerns about not ensuring Covid epidemic prevention. Pre-orders of the program’s combo package will also be refunded according to regulations.
A large number of gamers flocked to KFC stores, raising fears of spreading Covid
The good news is that stores in other cities will still have the event. However, this also creates concerns that there will be other areas being asked to stop from the local epidemic prevention agency. Although China has declared control of the epidemic, the country’s management agencies are still very careful in preventing a new outbreak. Events that gather large numbers of people are noticed and considered.
Diluc and Noelle joined the event with KFC staff costumes
This KFC and Mihoyo partnership event is Genshin Impact’s first brand collaboration event. Mihoyo sent 2 representatives, Diluc and Noelle, to participate in the form of a representative mascot. The special gifts of this round will be 3 typical KFC dishes, KFC-style petals in the game and 2 badges for those who come to buy the special combo of the program and shout the slogan. “See you in another world and enjoy delicious food!”
Gifts received in the game and instructions to chant slogans to receive badges
This program has taken place in a number of places and witnessed many interesting things. According to some witnesses recounted on social networks, on the first day of the event, fans jostled to buy a special combo package. Taking advantage of the crowded scene, some “crazy fans” quickly ran away with stands with Diluc and Noelle’s pictures in KFC costumes.
Take “waifu” and run away
The cosplayers also took advantage of “fast tailoring” to transform into 2 game characters in the right costumes designed for the event. It is worth noting that these coser are extremely cool, making viewers admire.
Cosplay Diluc and Noelle KFC staff version
Genshin Impact is a huge phenomenon in the gaming industry when in just 2 months of its launch, it has earned nearly $ 400 million on the mobile platform alone and won 3 mobile prizes from Google Play and 1 prize. GOTY on the Apple Store. This huge success makes the Genshin Impact franchise and its characters an ideal partner for co-branded media campaigns.
Mihoyo also said that they will bring the wing sample and the special 3-course recipe from this event (deep-fried chicken, hamburger and mashed potatoes) to the international version in the near future. It’s unclear if the update will be free or accompanied by a KFC event outside of China, but these three new recipes alone are enough to make Genshin Impact fans hungry. However, the two “authentic” lapel badges with Diluc and Noelle images are only available for the Chinese market.
