Genshin Impact has had its fair share of unexpected collaborations—from KFC meals to luxury Cadillacs inspired by fan-favorite characters. But this time, the crossover nobody saw coming has taken fans by storm: Zhongli and Yae Miko appearing in a Coldplay music video!
Genshin x Coldplay? Yep, That Just Happened
On February 6, 2025, British band Coldplay released the music video for their new song, Man in the Moon, from their latest album Moon Music. The video features stunning cityscapes, a dreamy romantic atmosphere, and a couple casually cosplaying Zhongli and Yae Miko as they wander through the futuristic streets of Singapore.
The standout moment? The couple walks hand in hand past Changi Airport’s Rain Vortex, and Genshin fans immediately lost their minds.
Fans React: “I Was Shocked and Happy!”
The Genshin community was quick to celebrate (and freak out) over the unexpected cameo:
“I was shocked and happy to see the thumbnail of the cosplayers wearing our beloved characters in the music video!”
“Yae would totally enjoy teasing Zhongli. She teases everyone!”
“Guess we know who’s singing for the next Archon demo.”
The crossover has sparked a new wave of fan theories and shipping discussions, with some even wondering if Coldplay’s Chris Martin is a secret Genshin fan.
A New Genshin Ship in the Making?
With the video now hitting 500,000+ views on YouTube, fans are already speculating about the next big Zhongli x Yae Miko banner rerun. Could HoYoverse take inspiration from this? Only time will tell!
One thing’s for sure: Genshin Impact appearing in a Coldplay MV was not on anyone’s 2025 bingo card, but we’re here for it.
