Marvel Snap Embarks on New Partnership with Skystone Games

Second Dinner Parts Ways with Nuverse, Partners with Skystone Games

Following the removal of Marvel Snap from app stores in the aftermath of ByteDance's TikTok ban, developer Second Dinner has severed ties with its publisher, Nuverse. The studio announced a new partnership with US-based publisher Skystone Games via its official Twitter account.

This move concludes a turbulent period for several titles published by Nuverse and other ByteDance subsidiaries, including Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and Marvel Snap, which were caught in the crossfire of the recent TikTok ban. ByteDance's actions, seemingly intended to protect TikTok, resulted in the temporary unavailability of these games. The situation was further complicated by the lack of prior notification to Second Dinner regarding Marvel Snap's removal.

The Fallout

Second Dinner's decision to leave Nuverse is unsurprising given the unexpected and disruptive nature of the app store removals. The swiftness of this change suggests significant internal repercussions for Nuverse stemming from the incident.

While geopolitical factors are relevant, a more pressing question arises: Has ByteDance's aggressive strategy to safeguard TikTok inadvertently undermined its ambitious gaming ventures? Second Dinner's actions certainly suggest this possibility.
