Genshin Impact is an open-world action role-playing game from HoYoverse that launched in 2020, and cooking has been part of its world from the start, letting players gather ingredients and prepare dishes that restore health or boost their party. Food-related audio from the game has travelled well beyond gameplay itself, appearing in short gameplay edits, cooking parodies and reaction videos where a familiar in-game cue instantly signals a meal, a reward or a cosy break. Its staying power comes from that instant recognition among a huge global player base.
