For American Marvel Snap players and the game’s developer, Second Dinner, this weekend has been far from enjoyable. The unexpected outage affected anything linked to ByteDance, with Marvel Snap being one of them. This sudden turn of events caught Second Dinner off-guard. Although TikTok resumed operation on Sunday, Marvel Snap remained unplayable in the U.S. for American players. They are hoping to have resolved this issue by the end of Monday.
On the evening of Sunday, information was shared across Marvel Snap’s multiple social platforms, including their old platform (originally known as Twitter), stating:
Apologies for the inconvenience, but we’re putting in tireless efforts to get Marvel Snap operational again in the U.S. We anticipate its return within the next 24 hours. Rest assured, we’ll keep you posted as soon as it’s back online.
In the meantime, global players should be able to continue to play with no issues.
In simpler terms, The statement doesn’t provide much additional information, but it does imply that something is happening with Marvel Snap. This situation has negatively impacted all American players, the game’s development studio, and content creators who depend on the game for their income. At present, trying to log into the game in the U.S. will inform players that the game is banned due to U.S. laws. Additionally, accessing the official Marvel Snap website from within U.S. territory requires a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
The reason for these issues is the ban on TikTok, which could lead to complications as the United States undergoes its power transition this coming Monday. Interestingly, TikTok seems to have temporarily resumed operation for American users in preparation for an impending Executive Order by President Trump. However, other related games and apps associated with TikTok do not appear to be granted a similar reprieve.
How did Marvel Snap come to be under their current circumstances? Originally, Marvel Snap was developed by Nuverse, a subsidiary of ByteDance – the Chinese parent company of TikTok. However, Nuverse had expressed plans to close down and leave the gaming industry, with Second Dinner taking over Marvel Snap independently. The impact of the TikTok ban on Marvel Snap seems to be unclear as it’s not a subject that Second Dinner team members have addressed publicly.
We’ll keep tracking the situation and aim to provide you with our latest predictions for when Marvel Snap might resume, expected by next Monday. Stay tuned to Shacknews for more developments.
