Developed by California-based Second Dinner and published by ByteDance subsidiary Nuverse, Marvel Snap unexpectedly faced a ban alongside other apps like CapCut and Lemon8. This resulted in the game's removal from iOS and Android platforms on January 18, 2025.
While PC players can still access the game via Steam, many mobile users are experiencing authorization issues and expressing frustration. Second Dinner's developers were surprised by the sudden ban and are actively working to restore access, stating via an official Platform X announcement: “Marvel Snap is here to stay. We're working hard to restore the game as quickly as possible, and we'll keep players informed of our progress.”
The lack of prior warning is a significant point of contention, leaving many players who continued making in-app purchases unaware of the impending lockout.
Interestingly, the ban's impact on other ByteDance apps is inconsistent. While Marvel Snap was affected, other titles like Ragnarok X: 3rd Anniversary and Earth: Revival - Deep Underground remain playable.
Recently, we covered the addition of the new card, Moonstone. This Ongoing archetype card is a potential game-changer. As a 4/6 cost card, Moonstone benefits from the Ongoing effects of your 1, 2, and 3-cost cards in her lane.
The current selection of low-cost Ongoing cards in Marvel Snap already provides a substantial pool of effects for Moonstone to copy. Unlike many inexpensive Ongoing cards such as Ant-Man and U.S. Agent, which primarily focus on power generation, Moonstone's ability to acquire these effects for free allows her to quickly achieve high power.
