Initially launched in China in September 2019 (closed beta), and later distributed by Tencent Games, the game's servers will shut down globally on March 20th, 2025, at 10:00 AM (UTC+8).
The Tale of Food Shutdown Date:
In-app purchases have already 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 enjoying the game until the final server closure 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.

It's worth noting that the game's Japan server closed in April 2023, followed by the China server in June 2024. This global shutdown marks the final closure.
Community Remains:
