The unique RPG adventure management game, *The Tale of Food*, featuring an enchanting world of personified food, is set to close its doors. Initially launched for a closed beta in China in September 2019 and later distributed by Tencent Games, the game has captivated players with its charming concept. Here’s everything you need to know about *The Tale of Food* shutdown.

When Is the The Tale of Food Shutdown?

The game, which allowed players to command an army of charismatic, personified dishes, will officially shut down on March 20th, 2025, at 10:00 AM (UTC+8). As of today, February 18th, in-game purchases have been disabled, signaling the beginning of the end. New player registrations have also been halted, and *The Tale of Food* 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 the aforementioned date.

What About the Jewels Collected in the Game?

For those who purchased jewels between January 9th and February 18th, 2025, a refund is available. You can reach out to in-game support or email the developers before March 20th to process your refund request. More details about the terms and conditions of the shutdown can be found on *The Tale of Food*'s official X account.

It's worth noting that the game’s Japan server shut down in April 2023, followed by the China server in June 2024. Now, the global version is the next to go offline. As the Food God's kid, your journey managing a realm bustling with dumplings and sophisticated seafood is drawing to a close. Yet, even after the servers shut down, the official X, Facebook, and Discord communities will remain active, providing a space for players to reminisce and share their cherished memories.
