The Genshin Impact KFC collab in China tempted a lot of fans to head to the closest branch of KFC in their town and get the new skins of the game, but at the end of the day, they returned home disappointed and empty-handed.
Even before its official announcement, there were some huge leaks around a collaboration between Genshin Impact and KFC this month in China. Last night, a lot of Genshin Impact fans in China stood in crowded lines to eventually purchase their Genshin Impact-themed meals and get some in-game skins and cosmetics. However, the event didn’t end well at the local Police in China decided to cancel the Genshin Impact KFC collab due to the concerns over COVID-19 spread.

Last night, a lot of Chinese Redditors started posting unbelievable images from the lines in front of the KFC branches in different cities of the country after the beginning of the Genshin Impact event. The reception of fans for such an event was truly unexpected for KFC. If they knew how many crowded lines were going to appear in front of the branches, they would probably consider some safety guidelines for the customers.

It’s yet to be seen how the event would be continued in the near future, but the KFC managers will probably need to reach an agreement with the Police department of China to ensure the safety of customers and lower the danger of COVID-19 spread. The Police officers mostly intervened in Shanghai and Hangzhou, but more stores might consider cancelling the event if people continue to make crowded lines in front of KFC restaurants.
Genshin Impact is currently available for free on PS4 and PC. The game is set to be launched on PS5 and Nintendo Switch sometime in the future, as per the developer, miHoYo.
