After a "surprise" outage, Marvel Snap has returned from its brief blip in the U.S. after being briefly snapped out of existence at the same time as TikTok, and its developer is taking measures – including searching for a new publisher – "to make sure this NEVER happens again."
In a statement over the weekend, Marvel Snap developer Second Dinner acknowledged that the card game had become totally unplayable in the U.S., noting that the outage was "a surprise to us and wasn't planned," but the team was "actively working on getting the game up as soon as possible." While it wasn't confirmed at the time, it seemed likely that the game could have been affected due to the fact that it's published by Nuverse, which is owned by ByteDance – also the parent company of TikTok. Despite the TikTok ban being overturned in a matter of hours, however, Marvel Snap remained down for longer, but it's finally back, coming full circle on what feels like a very apt Avengers homage.
