Marvel Snap, the popular card battler from Second Dinner, is back online in the US after a tumultuous period. However, the game's recent unavailability, linked to the TikTok ban impacting its publisher ByteDance, has led to significant fallout. The developer, Second Dinner, has publicly announced its search for a new publishing partner.
This unexpected move represents a major setback for Nuverse, ByteDance's subsidiary and Marvel Snap's current publisher. The game, launched in 2022, has been a critical and commercial success, blending iconic Marvel characters with fast-paced card battles.
Second Dinner's frustration is understandable. The abrupt removal of Marvel Snap, coupled with a "banned" warning message, left the developer seemingly uninformed and its players facing disrupted gameplay and missed rewards. The subsequent announcement of a publisher search underscores the depth of the behind-the-scenes tension.
The process of finding a new publisher could take considerable time. Until then, Second Dinner will likely prioritize preventing a recurrence of this incident. Meanwhile, players eager to return to the game can consult our helpful guides, including our comprehensive Marvel Snap card tier list.
