Baskin Robbins Genshin Impact Event Stars Flins and Linnea

The Japanese Baskin Robbins account teased an upcoming collaboration with Genshin Impact, complete with in-game items that you can use. Four characters from the game will be featured: Flins, Linnea, Odette, and Illuga. Pre-orders will start on August 28, 2026, and the official site said the actual event will run September 8, 2026 through October 6, 2026.

The initial post contained pictures of two silhouettes we can get in-game. One appeared to be an ice cream truck, while the other looked like a box of ice cream that you can feed the characters in-game. These are a furnishing for the Serenitea Pot and a recipe for food we can craft in-game. That digital bundle also includes 3 Hero’s Wit character experience items, 100 Primogems, and 20,000 Mora.

Physical items will be included too. For 1,300 yen (~$8.20), you get ice cream and a keychain with metal charms on lobster clasps of the four Nod-Krai and Snezhnaya featured characters. If you get the 2,000 yen (~$12.60) small or 2,320 yen (~$14.60) standard set, you also get acrylic standees of Flins and Linnea with ice cream.

Here’s the official art:

It’s unknown currently whether this collaboration will be exclusive to the Japanese branch of Baskin Robbins, or if players from other countries will be able to get these items some other way. Previously, HoYoVerse released a KFC-themed glider that players could get by visiting the actual location. However, this cosmetic later became available for limited windows through other means. For example, Razer Gold was distributing the glider.

Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices, and the Baskin Robbins Japan event starts September 8, 2026 and ends October 6, 2026.
