Marvel Snap Developer Seeks New Publisher After TikTok Ban Fallout

Second Dinner aims to prevent future disruptions after the game's unexpected removal from U.S. app stores due to ByteDance-related issues.

Overview

  • Marvel Snap was temporarily taken offline in the U.S. after its publisher, Nuverse, was affected by a TikTok ban targeting ByteDance-owned apps.
  • Developer Second Dinner has announced plans to find a new publisher and bring more services in-house to avoid similar outages in the future.
  • The game has been reinstated for existing users, but it remains unavailable for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store as of now.
  • Second Dinner has committed to compensating players for missed time-based content, rewards, and missions during the outage, though details are yet to be announced.
  • The TikTok ban has been delayed for 75 days, but Second Dinner is proactively seeking a new publishing arrangement to ensure long-term stability for Marvel Snap.
