If you're a fan of *The Tale of Food*, the RPG adventure management game where you command an army of charming, personified dishes, we have some bittersweet news. The game, which first launched in a closed beta in China in September 2019 and was later distributed by Tencent Games, is officially shutting down. Keep reading to get all the details on the *The Tale of Food* shutdown.
When Is the The Tale of Food Shutdown?
Mark your calendars—*The Tale of Food* will cease operations on March 20th, 2025, at 10:00 AM (UTC+8). As of February 18th, in-game purchases have been disabled. This means you won't be able to buy any more jewels or other items within the game. Additionally, starting today, new player registrations are no longer accepted, and the game has been pulled from the Google Play Store. However, if you already have the game installed, you can continue enjoying 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. To process your refund, reach out to in-game support or email the developers before the shutdown date of March 20th. For more information on the terms and conditions of the shutdown, visit the official X (formerly Twitter) account of *The Tale of Food*.
It's worth noting that the Japan server of *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 journey as the Food God's kid, managing a delightful realm filled with dumplings and suave seafood, comes to an end, remember that the game's official X, Facebook, and Discord communities will remain active. These platforms will serve as spaces for players to reminisce and share their fond memories.
