Genshin Impact KFC Glider expected to be available in July for non-China players

Officially introduced as part of the Genshin Impact 1.4 update, the KFC collaboration that leaked a while ago has now been announced.

The collaboration will allow players to obtain a set of KFC-themed Wind Gliders if they purchase the Noelle or Diluc branded buckets from the popular fried chicken chain. It's important to note that not everyone will be able to enjoy this neat benefit just yet.

The deal is currently available exclusively in China. However, fans will be glad to hear that in July, players from the rest of the world will be able to get their hands on the new Wind Gliders as well, as has been conveyed by the below tweet.

There has been no word so far as to whether their availability will be through a promotion with KFC or a different in-game event. The latter has arisen as a possibility because there are places where Genshin Impact is played, where there are no KFC restaurants.

Until July, fans from the rest of the world will have to live vicariously through Chinese Genshin Impact players flooding social media with pictures of their local KFCs, mostly seen plastered with Noelle and Diluc.

There are larger-than-life portrayals of many Genshin Impact fan-favorites plastered on windows as giant cardboard cutouts. Unfortunately, Paimon is not on the menu as emergency food; she is only available as a Genshin Impact mascot.

Even if KFC restaurants around the globe were to receive a Genshin Impact collaboration, the likelihood of them looking as cool as these stores in China, is rather bleak. While not every character is KFC-themed, Diluc and Noelle both seem to fit the vibe near perfectly.

More information on how global players can get their own KFC Wind Gliders will arrive eventually. It will be interesting to see how the promotion is handled in places where there are no KFC locations.
