Marvel Snap<\/a><\/em> developer Second Dinner is in the process of restoring the mobile trading card game to the Google Play store as of Jan. 24<\/a>, with a potential return estimated for this week<\/a>. In the meantime, the studio\u2019s provided a bunch of \u201cdowntime packages<\/a>\u201d for users affected by the outage.<\/p>\n

The ongoing TikTok fiasco<\/a> in the United States had an unexpected casualty in Marvel Snap<\/em>, which also went dark<\/a> for a two-day period beginning Jan. 18 due to publisher Nuverse\u2019s connections to TikTok owner ByteDance. And while Marvel Snap<\/em> eventually came back online for those who already had it downloaded, it remains missing from both Apple\u2019s App Store and Google Play.<\/p>\n

Second Dinner\u2019s specific mention of Google Play and not the App Store on Jan. 24, not to mention the possibility of Apple keeping the offending products off its marketplace until ByteDance finds a buyer<\/a>, indicates Marvel Snap<\/em>\u2019s return may be staggered across platforms. Polygon has contacted the studio about this possibility, but did not hear back immediately.<\/p>\n

Marvel Snap<\/em> players lucky enough to still have the game on their phones, on the other hand, will soon receive compensation for the two-day disappearance, including Spotlight Keys, experience, various currencies, a ton of boosters, and much, much more, depending on collection level and location. The full details can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis disruption of service is more than just an unfortunate blip in our eyes,\u201d Second Dinner said on X (formerly Twitter). \u201cAs such, we are not only committed to making up for this disruption, but we want to welcome back players, new and old, with some extra goodies to celebrate. Additionally, to make sure this never happens again, we\u2019re working to bring more services in-house and partner with a new publisher. This is the beginning of a new era in Marvel Snap<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
