This month's brief ban of TikTok in the US saw Marvel Snap get caught in the crossfire, as it was inaccessible to US-based players for several days. After that issue was resolved, developer Second Dinner pledged to reward players for their patience, and it looks like there'll be a lot of free stuff to grab this week.

The social media app TikTok was banned in the US today and, as it turns out, so was the popular online card game Marvel Snap.

Marvel Snap, the game caught in the TikTok ban, was reinstated on Play Store under the original developer's name, Second Dinner. The app retains old stats but has a new US-based publisher called Skystone Games,

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

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. TikTok access was reinstated after 12 hours, but the game remained offline for another 12 hours.

The popular game Marvel Snap has returned to app stores after being removed due to the Supreme Court ruling regarding TikTok. Recently there was a lot of major disruption to social media thanks to the brief removal of TikTok from US devices.

Marvel Snap’s developer, Second Dinner, has confirmed its collaboration with Skystone Games, a U.S.-based publisher, after facing the aftermath of the game's unexpected ban in the United States. This move is designed to solidify the game’s future and prevent similar issues from arising in the future.
