Marvel Snap Back Online, Publisher Sought

Marvel Snap is back online in the United States after a tumultuous few days offline. However, developer Second Dinner has announced it's actively searching for a new publisher, a significant blow to current publisher Nuverse, a ByteDance subsidiary.

The game's brief unavailability stemmed from the recent TikTok ban impacting ByteDance. Second Dinner reportedly wasn't informed beforehand about the abrupt service shutdown and accompanying "banned" warning message.

While addressing player complaints and resolving ongoing issues, Second Dinner's decision to seek a new publisher highlights the behind-the-scenes fallout from the situation. This abrupt action by ByteDance, which also affected other gaming releases, caused significant player frustration, with many missing out on login rewards and event gameplay. This likely fueled Second Dinner's decision.

Finding a new publisher could take months or even years. Until then, the hope is to prevent similar incidents. In the meantime, for those returning to Marvel Snap, our comprehensive guides, including a tier list of all cards, are a great resource to get started!
