The popular RPG adventure management game, The Tale of Food, featuring anthropomorphic food characters, is ceasing operations. Initially launched in China for closed beta testing in September 2019 and later distributed by Tencent Games, the game's servers will officially shut down on March 20th, 2025, at 10:00 AM (UTC+8).

The Tale of Food Shutdown Date:

In-app purchases have been disabled as of February 18th, 2025. New player registration is also unavailable, and the game has been removed from the Google Play Store. Existing players can continue playing until the servers close on March 20th.

Refunds for In-Game Purchases:

Players who made in-game purchases between January 9th and February 18th, 2025, are eligible for a refund. Contact in-game support or email the developers before March 20th to request a refund. Further details regarding the shutdown's terms and conditions are available on the official The Tale of Food X (formerly Twitter) account.

Server Closures:

It's worth noting that the game's Japan server closed in April 2023, followed by the China server closure in June 2024. This marks the end of the global version.

Community Remains:

While your time commanding your culinary kingdom of charming dumplings and sophisticated seafood is ending, the official X, Facebook, and Discord communities will remain active. These platforms will serve as spaces for players to share memories and reminisce about their time with the game.
