Tencent Games has officially announced that Tarisland, its ambitious cross-platform action MMORPG, will be shutting down on November 4, 2025. The news comes as a surprise to many, as the game has only been live for about a year following its global launch in June 2024.
A Short-Lived MMORPG Journey
Originally revealed in April 2023, Tarisland quickly entered closed beta testing in China before expanding into early access across select regions in June 2023. With a full release in 2024, expectations were high for Tencent’s Western fantasy-inspired MMORPG.
Featuring 5-player dungeons, 10-player raids, multiple classes with a deep talent tree system, and cross-platform support across Android and iOS, the game appeared poised for long-term success. However, Tencent has not disclosed the reason for its sudden closure.
Shutdown Timeline and What Players Should Know
Following the shutdown announcement, the developers confirmed:
- New registrations and in-app purchases have been disabled.
- Players can continue to enjoy the game and use their remaining items until the servers close.
- On November 4, 2025, all downloads and services will be permanently shut down.
- No offline version will be provided, and refunds will not be issued.
- For inquiries, players can contact support@tarisglobal.com.
Player Reactions
The announcement was made via the game’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, where the team expressed gratitude to the community:
We regret to inform you that Tarisland will be retired with effect from 2025/11/04, 00:00, GMT+0 (“Termination Date”). Details can be viewed: https://t.co/p49YzGgEom

“We are grateful for all your love and your continued support… We apologize for any inconvenience caused.”
Fans expressed mixed emotions, with some saddened by the premature end, while others were unsurprised by the early shutdown.
Final Thoughts
Tarisland promised to be a grand MMORPG experience with large-scale raids, class diversity, and cross-platform play. Unfortunately, its journey has ended far too soon, leaving players with only a brief memory of its world.
For now, fans are encouraged to spend their remaining time in-game and enjoy the last days of Tarisland before the servers close on November 4, 2025.
