With a few days left until New Year, McDonald’s Japan has announced the launch of three burgers that will be available from January 6, 2025. On December 26, 2024, the fast food giant shared the news of the revelation of the Evangelion Burgers trio through a press release and on its X platform.
Interestingly, the three new Evangelion Burgers will be available as a part of McD Japan’s collaboration with the much-favorite anime franchise Neon Genesis Evangelion. The franchise will be celebrating its 30th anniversary in the upcoming year. The three Evangelion burgers have been named:
- Chunky fries and thick beef with rich garlic mayonnaise
- Mexican Cheese Chicken
- Double Cheese Teriyaki
Out of the three burgers, only the first two are new additions. The first burger combines a thick beef patty and a potato patty with a flavorful garlic mayo sauce. Meanwhile, the Mexican Cheese Chicken includes a chicken patty paired with taco meat filling for a tangy twist.
The Cheese Double Teriyaki, a return from last year, offers two pork patties in teriyaki sauce with cheese and lettuce. McDonald’s Japan also has plans to use original buns that are inspired by the series's AT Field. All three burgers will be served in the special "Evangelion Burger" buns. Not only that, but each burger will be presented in exclusive Evangelion-themed packaging.
It must be noted that these burgers will only be available for a limited time, tentatively lasting till early February 2025. The burger-themed advertisement trailer launched on X featured NERV confronting the yellow-and-red Evangelion Unit-M, as pointed out by Anitrendz.
