Marvel Snap is back online, but Second Dinner aren\'t happy and is seeking a new publisher

Author:Kristen Update:Feb 24,2025

Marvel Snap, the popular card battler from Second Dinner, is back online in the US after a tumultuous period. However, the developer's relationship with its current publisher, Nuverse (a ByteDance subsidiary), appears irrevocably damaged, leading Second Dinner to actively seek a new publishing partner.

The game's temporary unavailability stemmed from the recent TikTok ban, a move that seemingly bypassed Second Dinner, resulting in a jarring "banned" message for US players. This lack of communication and the ensuing player backlash, including missed rewards and disrupted gameplay, has understandably angered the developer.

Second Dinner's decision to publicly search for a new publisher underscores the severity of the situation. The fallout from ByteDance's abrupt actions, which affected multiple gaming titles besides Marvel Snap, has clearly created a significant rift.

Finding a new publisher will likely take considerable time, potentially months or even years. Until then, Second Dinner will hopefully avoid a recurrence of this disruptive incident. In the meantime, players can return to the game and utilize helpful resources like our comprehensive Marvel Snap card tier list to enhance their gameplay.
