Marvel Snap is back online in the United States after a tumultuous period. However, developer Second Dinner has announced it's actively searching for a new publisher following the game's temporary unavailability due to the TikTok ban impacting its current publisher, Nuverse (a ByteDance subsidiary).
The abrupt shutdown, accompanied by a "banned" warning, reportedly caught Second Dinner by surprise. This unexpected event, coupled with a significant player backlash over lost login rewards and disrupted gameplay, has led to the developer's decision to seek a new publishing partner.
This is a significant setback for Nuverse, considering Marvel Snap's successful launch in 2022, which blended popular Marvel characters with fast-paced card battles. Second Dinner's public announcement reflects the internal frustration stemming from the situation.
Finding a new publisher could take months, or even years. The immediate priority is preventing a recurrence of this incident. In the meantime, players eager to return to the game can utilize our helpful resources, such as our comprehensive Marvel Snap card tier list, to enhance their gameplay.
