The collaborativeGenshin Impactx Pizza Hut stop-motion video begins withCryo character Eulawho is wearing an apron with a chef’s hat and coat receiving an order before she gathers the ingredients for it while twirling around. The chibi version of Eula flattens the pizza dough like magic and then proceeds to splash sauce and the necessary ingredients for a Pizza Hut meal on the uncooked crust as she gives the creation a spin to cook it to perfection. The pizza is then loaded onto an apparatus attached to a slime which Pyro character Amber, dressed as a delivery driver, then navigates carefully to a Pizza Hut customer that is playingGenshin Impacton their mobile device.
In the past,Genshin Impacthas worked with KFC to have a similar collaboration that brought popular characters from the action-RPG to specific locations like the current promotion with Pizza Hut. TheGenshin Impactcollaboration with Pizza Hut isn’t limited to just the restaurant as players can also get in-game furniture, special cooking recipes and Kamera, and some Mora currency. ThisGenshin Impactpromotion runs from August 29 until September 17, but it’s already so successful that at leastone Pizza Hut locationhas been shut down by police as a result.
Given thatGenshin Impact’s developer is based out of China, it’s fitting that Pizza Hut locations in the country are the first to receive theGenshin Impactcollaboration, but it’s currently unclear if it will make it to Western ones in the future or not. Many fans in North America took to theGenshin Impactx Pizza Hutannouncement to express enthusiasm for such a collaboration to come to locations in their area, while others suggested collaborating with BeanBoozled, Kung Fu Tea, McDonald’s, and Panda Express.
Genshin Impactis available now for mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5 with a Switch version also in development.
