Marvel Snap Resurrected, Second Dinner Leaving an Empty Seat

Marvel Snap, the popular card battler from Second Dinner, is back online in the US after a tumultuous period linked to the TikTok ban impacting its publisher, ByteDance. However, this disruption has seemingly soured the relationship, with Second Dinner announcing its search for a new publishing partner.

The abrupt removal of Marvel Snap, accompanied by a "banned" message, reportedly caught Second Dinner off guard. This unexpected action, along with the resulting player backlash over lost rewards and disrupted gameplay, has fueled the developer's decision to seek a new publisher.

This development represents a significant setback for Nuverse, the ByteDance subsidiary that published the successful title. The game's 2022 launch, blending Marvel characters with fast-paced card battles, had been widely praised.

Second Dinner's public expression of discontent highlights the behind-the-scenes frustration over ByteDance's handling of the situation. Finding a new publisher is likely to take considerable time, potentially months or even years. The hope now is to prevent any recurrence of such disruptive events.
