Marvel Snap, the popular card battler from Second Dinner, is back online in the US after a tumultuous period. However, the game's return is overshadowed by Second Dinner's announcement that they are actively searching for a new publisher.
The brief outage stemmed from the recent TikTok ban impacting ByteDance, Marvel Snap's current publisher Nuverse. Second Dinner reportedly lacked prior warning of the service interruption, leaving them scrambling to address player concerns and a wave of negative feedback.
The developer's decision to seek a new publishing partner highlights the significant fallout from the abrupt shutdown. The lack of communication and the resulting disruption to gameplay, including missed login rewards and events, have understandably angered both Second Dinner and its player base.
The search for a new publisher is expected to take considerable time, potentially months or even years. Until a replacement is found, the hope is that such unforeseen disruptions will be avoided. In the meantime, players can return to the game and utilize resources like our comprehensive Marvel Snap card tier list to enhance their gameplay.
