Marvel Snap Finds New Publishing Partner Amidst Recent Challenges

The developers of the popular card game Marvel Snap, Second Dinner, have announced a significant shift in their publishing partnership. Following a recent temporary service disruption linked to the TikTok ban in the United States, they have opted to collaborate with Skystone Games, a U.S.-based company. This strategic move aims to prevent any recurrence of the operational issues that affected players earlier this month.

To ensure smoother operations and enhance player experience, Second Dinner has transitioned from its previous publisher, Nuverse—a subsidiary of ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. According to their statement, Nuverse fully supported the transition without any hindrance. Going forward, Skystone Games will handle the publishing responsibilities alongside an internal team at Second Dinner. “We’ve already initiated the process to bring nearly all operational and publishing tasks in-house, with assistance from our new U.S.-based partner,” said the development team.

In addition to addressing the publishing concerns, Second Dinner worked diligently to restore all services related to Marvel Snap, which had been disrupted due to the incident. By January 29, 2025, the game was once again fully functional across all platforms and regions. Demonstrating their commitment to their community, the company also introduced compensation packages for players impacted by the outage. Players with varying Collection Levels received different rewards, ensuring that everyone who experienced downtime was appropriately acknowledged and appreciated.

This transition not only highlights the resilience and adaptability of Second Dinner but also underscores their dedication to maintaining a robust and enjoyable gaming environment. By aligning with a U.S.-based publisher and bringing more operations in-house, the company is taking proactive steps to safeguard the future of Marvel Snap, reinforcing trust among its global player base.
