Marvel Snap has returned and developers wish to switch publishers

Marvel Snap has returned and developers wish to switch publishers

The unexpected shutdown of TikTok in the US on January 19th had unforeseen consequences for Marvel Snap, the popular card game published by Nuverse (a ByteDance subsidiary). This disruption left Marvel Snap inaccessible for a full 24 hours.

While the game is now back online, full functionality remains elusive, with in-app purchases currently unavailable. In response to this critical incident, and citing political risks, developers are exploring a publisher change and internalizing some services, as announced on Platform X.

This proactive measure aims to mitigate future disruptions stemming from the precarious political landscape surrounding TikTok. The company was granted only a 90-day extension to sell a 50% stake to a US-based owner, leaving Marvel Snap vulnerable to further blockages should the agreement fail.

Second Dinner Studios has promised further updates. While many players reported authorization problems, Steam users experienced uninterrupted access. The developers expressed surprise at the event and assured players via Platform X that: “Marvel Snap is here to stay. We're working hard to restore the game as quickly as possible, and we'll keep players informed of our progress.”

The lack of prior warning added insult to injury, leaving many players unaware of the potential lockout and continuing to make in-game purchases before the service interruption.
