Fast food chains collaborating with anime franchises have become a popular strategy to engage fans, and Burger King’s Russian branch has embraced these partnerships wholeheartedly. The chain has a history of creating entire limited-time menus around beloved franchises, transforming standard meal combos into collectible items for dedicated fans.

This trend first emerged with ‘Attack on Titan‘ in September 2025, when Burger King Russia introduced a themed box that included a Titanic Whopper, fries, a drink, and one of eight randomly selected acrylic character figures. The promotion also featured collectible glasses and a sweepstakes that offered fans a chance to win additional merchandise along with a trip to Japan.

Now, leaked promotional materials indicate that this partnership is set to return for a second round. Reports suggest that Burger King Russia is gearing up to relaunch its ‘Attack on Titan’ collaboration on September 16, featuring a new item called the Founding Titan Whopper.

The standout burger will reportedly replace Burger King’s standard bun with a black version, complemented by red-colored cheese that reflects the anime’s darker aesthetic. The rest of the menu is equally inspired by the source material, including a “Titan Injection” sauce that references the serum used to transform Eldians into Pure Titans, along with a separate “Rumbling” seasoning made with sriracha, nodding to the catastrophic Wall Titan march from the series’ climactic arc.

In addition to the food offerings, the collaboration is expected to reintroduce the collectible figure format that made the first campaign a success among fans. This time, the leaked lineup reportedly includes eight figures: Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, Levi Ackerman, Gabi Braun, and four of the series’ Titan forms: the Beast Titan, Armored Titan, Colossal Titan, and Jaw Titan.

This roster marks a significant change from the original 2025 campaign, which featured Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Levi, Sasha, the Armored Titan, the Colossal Titan, and Eren’s Attack Titan transformation. The inclusion of Gabi Braun and a wider variety of Titan Shifter forms suggests that the new promotion is drawing from later, more intricate parts of the story instead of focusing solely on the series’ early arcs.

‘Attack on Titan’ follows Eren Yeager and the Survey Corps as they fight against the Titans that threaten humanity from behind their massive walls. The narrative eventually expands into a larger geopolitical conflict involving the Eldians, the nation of Marley, and the true origins of the Titans’ powers. This expansive narrative has made the franchise a perfect candidate for elaborate promotional tie-ins, given the visually distinct designs of its characters and Titans.

With the reported launch date approaching, fans have already begun sharing leaked promotional images online, generating excitement ahead of any official confirmation from Burger King. If these details are accurate, this second collaboration promises to build significantly on the first, offering a fresh character lineup alongside a menu inspired by some of the series’ most memorable and unsettling visuals.

For those eager to try the Founding Titan Whopper or collect the new figures, the promotion currently appears to be exclusive to Burger King locations in Russia, mirroring the regional exclusivity of the original 2025 rollout. This limitation has historically fueled a secondary market for imported or resold merchandise among international fans keen to acquire collectibles regardless of location.

Given the attention the first collaboration garnered online despite its limited geographic reach, it’s likely that similar buzz will surround this second round once official confirmation is announced. Anime and fast food crossovers have consistently proven to be effective attention-grabbers, and a visually striking franchise like ‘Attack on Titan’ seems particularly well-suited for themed promotional campaigns.
