If you've been enjoying the unique world of *The Tale of Food*, an RPG adventure management game featuring personified food, we have some bittersweet news to share. The game, which first launched in a closed beta in China in September 2019 and was later distributed by Tencent Games, is set to shut down. Dive into the details of the shutdown with us.
When Is the The Tale of Food Shutdown?
The charming game that allowed you to command an army of handsome, personified dishes is officially shutting down on March 20th, 2025, at 10:00 AM (UTC+8). As of today, February 18th, in-game purchases have been disabled to pave the way for the closure.
Additionally, new player registrations are no longer accepted starting from today, and the game has been removed from the Google Play Store. However, if you've already downloaded the game, you can continue to enjoy it until the servers close on March 20th.
What About the Jewels Collected in the Game?
If you purchased any jewels between January 9th and February 18th, 2025, you're eligible for a refund. You can reach out to in-game support or email the developers before March 20th to request your refund.

It's worth noting that the game's Japan server was the first to shut down back in April 2023, followed by the China server in June 2024. Now, the global version is set to follow suit.
As your journey as the Food God’s kid, managing a realm filled with delightful dumplings and suave seafood, comes to an end, remember that the official X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and Discord communities will remain active. These platforms will serve as spaces to reminisce and share your fond memories of the game.
