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 publisher ByteDance, has led to a significant fallout. Second Dinner, seemingly unaware of Nuverse (ByteDance's subsidiary) removing the game, is now actively searching for a new publishing partner.
This unexpected move is a major setback for Nuverse, considering Marvel Snap's successful launch in 2022, blending iconic Marvel characters with fast-paced card battles.
Second Dinner's frustration is understandable, given the negative player reaction to the abrupt service interruption and the loss of in-game rewards. The decision to seek a new publisher underscores the depth of this behind-the-scenes conflict.
Finding a new publisher could take considerable time, potentially months or even years. The immediate priority is likely preventing a recurrence of this incident. Meanwhile, players can resume enjoying Marvel Snap, and may find our comprehensive guides, such as our Marvel Snap card tier list, helpful.
