Marvel Snap, the popular card battler from Second Dinner, is back online in the US after a tumultuous period. The game's brief unavailability stemmed from the recent TikTok ban impacting its publisher, ByteDance's subsidiary Nuverse. However, Second Dinner claims they weren't informed of the decision to abruptly halt service and display a "banned" message.
This incident has led Second Dinner to announce they are actively searching for a new publisher. This is a significant blow to Nuverse, considering the game's successful launch in 2022, blending iconic Marvel characters with fast-paced card battles.
The abrupt removal of Marvel Snap, along with other ByteDance gaming titles, without prior notice, has understandably angered Second Dinner. Social media reflects a surge of player complaints regarding missed login rewards and disrupted gameplay. The decision to seek a new publisher underscores the depth of this frustration.
Finding a new publisher could take months, or even years. The immediate priority is preventing a recurrence of this situation. For players eager to return to the game, we recommend checking out our helpful guides, including our comprehensive Marvel Snap card tier list.
