Marvel Snap: New Publisher Skystone Games Takes Over

Second Dinner, the developer behind the popular mobile game Marvel Snap, has severed ties with its previous publisher, Nuverse. The studio has announced a new partnership with US-based publisher Skystone Games. This follows the recent removal of Marvel Snap from app stores, a consequence of the events surrounding Bytedance's TikTok and the subsequent fallout.

The move marks a significant development in the aftermath of the TikTok ban, which impacted several games published by Nuverse and other Bytedance subsidiaries, including Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. The unexpected removal of Marvel Snap, without prior notification to Second Dinner, resulted in weeks of effort to restore the game's availability.

Second Dinner's decision to part ways with Nuverse is unsurprising given the disruptive and unexpected nature of the app store removal. This rapid shift suggests significant internal repercussions for Nuverse stemming from the incident.

While the geopolitical implications are noteworthy, a more pressing question arises: has Bytedance's aggressive attempt to protect TikTok inadvertently undermined its broader gaming ambitions? Second Dinner's actions certainly suggest this might be the case.
