Marvel Snap devs reassure players it will "continue to operate and flourish" in spite of any restructuring
Despite reports that TikTok maker ByteDance plans to restructure gaming publisher Nuverse, Marvel Snap dev Second Dinner has assured players the game isn’t shutting down.
Reuters reported earlier today that ByteDance is planning to move away from the games industry, and will wind down Nuverse, its game publishing division. The report noted that this would likely impact hundreds of employees, but there was no direct confirmation of any particular studios shutting down. Over in the West, Nuverse’s most notable game is the quite popular competitive card game Marvel Snap, and fans of the game have been worried that the restructuring could lead to the game shutting down. However, the official Marvel Snap Twitter has released a statement in an attempt to reassure players that there’s no plans for the game shutting down, at least for the time being.
“Dear Snappers, Some of our players have expressed their concerns regarding reported structural changes at Nuverse,” reads the statement. “We wish to thank you for your concern and assure you that regardless of any changes at Nuverse, SNAP will continue to operate and flourish in the future!” This obviously isn’t ruling out any potential layoffs, an unfortunately common trend in the games industry in recent months, but it’s something for players at the very least.
