McDonald’s is gearing up to bring a special treat to its U.S. customers, as reports indicate that a Yu-Gi-Oh-themed Happy Meal is set to launch later this month. Fans of the popular trading card game have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this meal, which has already made waves overseas.
Earlier this year, McDonald’s introduced the Yu-Gi-Oh Happy Meal in select Asian markets, sparking excitement among fans worldwide. U.S. enthusiasts have been vocal about their desire to see the meal stateside, and it appears their wishes are about to be granted.
The news comes from a TikTok user, known as pinkbosslady, who works at a McDonald’s in Orange County, California. The employee shared promotional materials on social media, revealing the upcoming collaboration between McDonald’s, Hello Kitty, and Yu-Gi-Oh. According to the post, the Happy Meal is expected to be available starting August 20.
While McDonald’s has not yet made an official announcement, the buzz surrounding the potential launch is growing. The success of the Yu-Gi-Oh Happy Meal in Asia, where it quickly gained popularity, suggests that U.S. fans will be equally enthusiastic.
McDonald’s has a history of partnering with popular franchises for its Happy Meals, with Pokémon being one of its most frequent collaborators. From trading cards to exclusive toys, these partnerships have consistently drawn in collectors and fans alike. The addition of Yu-Gi-Oh, along with the iconic Hello Kitty, is expected to be a hit among customers.
