The enchanting world of *The Tale of Food*, the RPG adventure management game where you command an army of charming, personified dishes, is sadly coming to an end. Originally launched in China for a closed beta in September 2019 and later distributed by Tencent Games, the game has captured the hearts of many. Here's everything you need to know about the impending shutdown of *The Tale of Food*.
When Is the The Tale of Food Shutdown?
Mark your calendars: *The Tale of Food* will officially close its doors on March 20th, 2025, at 10:00 AM (UTC+8). As of today, February 18th, in-game purchases have been disabled, and new player registrations are no longer accepted. The game has also been delisted from the Google Play Store. However, if you've already downloaded it, you can continue to enjoy your culinary adventures until the servers shut down 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 claim it, reach out to in-game support or send an email to the developers before March 20th. You can find more details about the terms and conditions of the shutdown on the official X page of *The Tale of Food*.
It's worth noting that the Japan server of *The Tale of Food* was the first to close, 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 child managing a realm filled with dumplings and debonair seafood draws to a close, remember that the official X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and Discord communities will remain active. These platforms will continue to serve as a space for players to reminisce and share their cherished memories.
