The enchanting world of *The Tale of Food*, the RPG adventure management game where you command an army of personified culinary delights, is sadly coming to an end. Originally launched in China for a closed beta in September 2019 and later distributed by Tencent Games, this unique game is set to shut down. Here’s everything you need to know about the *The Tale of Food* shutdown.
When Is the The Tale of Food Shutdown?
Mark your calendars, as *The Tale of Food* will officially cease operations on March 20th, 2025, at 10:00 AM (UTC+8). Starting today, February 18th, in-game purchases have been disabled. Additionally, new player registrations are no longer available, and the game has been removed from the Google Play Store. However, if you already have the game installed, you can continue enjoying your adventures with dumplings and suave seafood until the servers close on March 20th.
What About the Jewels Collected in the Game?
If you've purchased jewels between January 9th and February 18th, 2025, you're eligible for a refund. You can request this by contacting in-game support or emailing the developers before March 20th. For more details on the terms and conditions of the shutdown, visit the official X account of *The Tale of Food*.
It's worth noting that the Japan server for *The Tale of Food* shut down in April 2023, followed by the China server in June 2024. Now, the global version is the next to go.
As your tenure as the Food God's kid managing a realm of delectable characters draws to a close, remember that the game's official X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and Discord communities will remain active. These platforms will provide a space for players to share memories and reminisce about their time in the game.
