Fans of *The Tale of Food*, the unique RPG adventure management game where you command an army of personified dishes, will be sad to hear that the game is shutting down. Initially launched for a closed beta in China in September 2019 and later distributed by Tencent Games, *The Tale of Food* has been a beloved title among players worldwide.
When Is the The Tale of Food Shutdown?
The official shutdown date for *The Tale of Food* is set for March 20th, 2025, at 10:00 AM (UTC+8). As of February 18th, 2025, in-game purchases have been disabled, and new player registrations have been halted. The game has also been removed from the Google Play Store, but existing players can continue to enjoy the game until the servers close on the shutdown date.
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 request this by contacting in-game support or emailing the developers before the shutdown date on March 20th. More details on the terms and conditions of the shutdown can be found on the official X page of *The Tale of Food*.
It's worth noting that the Japan server of *The Tale of Food* ceased operations in April 2023, followed by the China server in June 2024. Now, the global version is the next to go.
As your journey as the Food God's child, managing a realm of dumplings and sophisticated seafood, comes to an end, the memories will live on. The official X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and Discord communities will remain active even after the servers shut down, providing a space for players to reminisce and connect.
