Marvel Snap has returned and developers wish to switch publishers

On January 19th, a temporary US shutdown of TikTok unexpectedly impacted Marvel Snap, the popular card game published by Nuverse (a ByteDance subsidiary). This disruption, lasting approximately 24 hours, resulted in the game's temporary unavailability. While Marvel Snap is now back online, in-app purchases remain disabled, and full functionality is still being restored.

This incident, attributed to political risks surrounding TikTok's ongoing negotiations for a US sale, has prompted Second Dinner Studios (the developers) to explore alternative publishing options and internal service management to mitigate future disruptions. TikTok's 90-day extension to finalize a 50% stake sale leaves Marvel Snap vulnerable to further blockages if the agreement fails.

Second Dinner has promised further updates. While PC players via Steam maintained access, many users reported authorization problems. The sudden outage, particularly concerning for those who made recent in-game purchases without warning, has prompted a strong developer response, with assurances on Platform X that "Marvel Snap is here to stay" and that efforts are underway to swiftly resolve the issues. The lack of prior notification regarding the potential service interruption has been a significant point of frustration for the player base.
