We finally know the reason behind Duo’s Klee cosplay at Anime Expo – Hoyoverse is bringing us a Genshin Impact x Duolingo collaboration. The open-world ARPG and the world’s leading language-learning platform are teaming up for their first-ever brand partnership, and we can’t quite believe our eyes.
When Genshin Impact initially tweeted out a guide to the game’s booth at Anime Expo earlier this month, we were baffled by the appearance of Duo, the Duolingo mascot and feared green owl of language learning, dressed as Genshin Impact’s Klee. Now, this isn’t the first time that Teyvat has welcomed foreign Travelers, as the game’s PS5 release brought us Genshin Impact’s Aloy from the Horizon series, and plenty of us own the KFC collab glider or cook up a spicy chicken sandwich to buff our team before tackling a difficult boss.
However, Duolingo isn’t a game per se, so a playable Duo would be a strange addition to the character roster, and the app has very little to do with food, so ahead of today’s announcement, we were understandably confused about what this collab could entail. Luckily for us, it’s nothing too strange – the Genshin x Duolingo collaboration provides gacha fans with two adorable artworks of Klee and Duo hanging out, plus a Genshin Impact code and a code for a one-month free trial of Super Duolingo.
Genshin’s official crossover art features chibi Klee and Duo standing in front of a “strange stone-like figure of Duo,” which is apparently a nod to some of the upcoming events in the next Genshin Impact update, which follows the game’s established trend of centering a limited-time summer map and accompanying whimsical adventure.
