McDonald’s has officially launched World Heist 2.0, a new menu that brings international dishes to the UK and Ireland for a limited time. This follows the success of the first-ever World Heist menu, which was introduced last year and featured burgers, sides, and drinks from other countries. The new menu includes items from Germany, Canada, India, Australia, China, and the Netherlands, available across the UK and Ireland. In addition to these international items, there are new breakfast additions for 2026.
For 2026, the chain is introducing a Dawn Raid, which will see two new breakfast items launching from September 22, both coming to the UK from Australia. These items include a Chicken & Egg McMuffin and a Chicken & Bacon McMuffin, featuring chicken in a crispy coating, egg, cool mayo, and a cheese slice inside a toasted English muffin, with the latter adding bacon too.
Among the highlights of the menu is the Big Rösti from Germany, available until October 19. The burger features a beef patty, layered with crispy potato rösti, streaky bacon, a cheese slice, creamy baconnaise, and a cheese sauce, all served in a toasted and glazed sesame-topped bun. Also joining the line-up between September 22 and October 19 is the Maple & Cheddar Chicken from Canada, which contains a chicken breast fillet in a crispy coating topped with cheddar cheese, onions two ways, lettuce, and tomato. The whole thing is finished with a mustard maple sauce and citrus mayo and served in a toasted poppy and sesame seed bun.
Sides include the return of Mac & Cheese Triangles from the United Arab Emirates, available from September 22 to November 16. These crispy triangles of macaroni pasta with a cheddar cheese sauce were featured in the World Heist in 2025 and proved popular. They’re served with a classic tomato dip and are described as a 'serious' comfort food. Fries are also getting a makeover, with Paprika McShaker Fries from the Netherlands on the menu. Customers can buy them between September 22 and November 16, and they’ll feature a smoky paprika seasoning sachet and a shaker bag. You simply pour the seasoning over the fries in the bag, shake it up, and enjoy.
For those who love a dip, the Szechuan Sauce from China is available, which is a 'sweet and savoury Asian-inspired sauce' with a mild Szechuan pepper heat. Rounding out the World Heist Menu is a sweet dessert — a S’mores McFlurry from Canada. Soft dairy ice cream is swirled with marshmallows and a biscuit crumb before being topped with chocolate sauce. Both the sauce and McFlurry will be available from September 22 to November 19.
McDonald’s hasn’t forgotten about drinks either. You can wash all of the above down with a tropical Guava x Sprite Zero from India, which combines Sprite Zero with a guava-flavoured syrup, served over ice. In other fast food news, Randy’s Donuts, a famous US dessert chain known for giant doughnuts on top of its shops, is set to open its first UK store in Edinburgh, Scotland. There are also plans to expand across the UK, including a potential site in London. Meanwhile, Jersey Mike's, a Northeast American-style sub brand, is launching in London as part of its European expansion. McDonald's has recently faced some backlash after removing the Monopoly game and the popular toffee latte from its menu for 2026.
