Do not play chicken with a global pandemic
KFC had to be forced to close several restaurants in China this past weekend Genshin Impact players showed up to take part in the fast food store’s crossover event.
KFC has announced that it will offer exclusive Genshin Impact pins and items in the game to customers who use the phrase “Meet in another world, enjoy delicious food!” at the restaurant’s employees. However, as reported by Kotaku, KFC stores in Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou district were overrun by fans. Despite the best efforts of the authorities to maintain crowd control, it is believed that the rallies violate China’s extremely strict COVID-19 regulations, which partially abandoned the opportunity.
As noted by industry analyst Daniel Ahmad, COVID-19 figures are currently relatively low in China, making the country safer than several other major international communities. Either way, to hold a promotion in store for one of the greatest time games of the time spirit, while a global pandemic is still in force is somewhat irresponsible. I feel sorry for the bad juices depicted in costumes Genshin Impact characters Diluc and Noelle. I hope they are gone before they are overwhelmed by fans, printers and selfie takers.
It is expected that the items of the event will be available to all players later this summer, while the physical pens are very limited. As such, they are very sought after items in the Genshin Impact community, which is currently estimated to be in the region of 30-35 million players.
These people have been waiting all night for the KFC x Genshin Impact collab in China. This location is Nanjing.
Fans can get a special meal from the brand Genshin Impact, in the game content and an exclusive pin / badge from KFC.
