Marvel Snap is now back online in the U.S. after it was banned alongside TikTok, and its developer Second Dinner is looking for a new publisher to ensure another takedown doesn't happen in the future.

The Marvel Comics digital game counts Nuverse as its publisher, which like TikTok is owned by the Chinese conglomerate ByteDance.

Digital collectible card game 'Marvel Snap' was shut down in the U.S., a casualty of the government ban targeting TikTok.

When TikTok was temporarily blocked in the US at the weekend, one of the unexpected knock-on effects was the simultaneous blocking of Marvel Snap, a CCG starring the usual gaggle of buoyant American superheroes.

The popular free to play CCG Marvel Snap has been caught up in the United States TikTok ban, with players unable to access the game and instead met with a similar message about the takedown as on TikTok.

The U.S. government's ban against ByteDance products has hit folks hard, but Second Dinner says Marvel Snap "isn't going anywhere."

The divest-or-ban law aimed at TikTok is also taking down other ByteDance-linked apps, including the popular card game Marvel Snap. The app suddenly cut off access Saturday night, seemingly without warning, surprising gamers who weren’t aware of its connection to ByteDance.

Marvel Snap,” a popular mobile card game published by ByteDance’s Nuverse games division, shut down gameplay over the weekend as the U.S. TikTok ban took effect.

Marvel Snap has now been banned in the US alongside TikTok, thanks to an association with the social media platform's parent company ByteDance, catching players off guard.

In a statement, developers Second Dinner and publisher Nuverse said the game was unexpectedly impacted by the takedown of TikTok on Saturday, Jan. 18.

Marvel Snap is back online in the US after it shut down alongside TikTok, Second Dinner has announced. The game's developer also said on X that it's partnering with a new publisher and working to bring more services in-house to "make sure this never happens again.
