Now that Marvel Snap is back online, its developer says it wants a new publisher

The developer of Marvel Snap has said it’s looking for a new publisher, to avoid another shutdown like the one it suffered at the weekend.

In the days leading up to Donald Trump’s inauguration as U.S. president, the Supreme Court decided to uphold a decision to ban TikTok.

As a result, TikTok was taken offline in the U.S. last weekend, along with other apps owned by its developer ByteDance.

One of these apps was Marvel Snap, which was published by ByteDance’s game publishing label Nuverse.

On Sunday, Marvel Snap developer Second Dinner explained on X that the outage was “a surprise to us and wasn’t planned”, and promised that the game “isn’t going anywhere”.

Following Trump’s pledge to resolve the TikTok situation and the app’s reinstatement in the U.S., Marvel Snap is now working again, but Second Dinner now says it wants a new publisher so it won’t be affected if TikTok is ever shut down again in the future.

“Marvel Snap is back online in the U.S.,” the studio posted on X. “But to make sure this never happens again, we’re working to bring more services in-house and partner with a new publisher. This is the start of a new era for Marvel Snap.

“We know this probably leaves you with even more questions than answers. We appreciate your patience, but in the meantime enjoy playing Marvel Snap. We’ll continue to update with more information as soon as possible.”

The game is still missing from the App Store, meaning anyone who tried to uninstall and redownload it during its downtime is currently unable to do so. Second Dinner says it’s working on restoring App Store availability.

“During this downtime, we realize that many of you are missing out on time-based content, rewards, and Missions,” it added. “Second Dinner is committed to ensuring that all players are compensated for their lost time.”

Originally released in October 2022 after a ******* of beta testing, Marvel Snap received critical acclaim and won a number of awards, including Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards, the New York Game Awards, and the D.I.C.E. Awards.
