Former Hearthstone creators reveal collectible card game Marvel Snap

Developer Second Dinner has revealed the collectible card game Marvel Snap, which focuses on Marvel’s superheroes and villains. The studio was founded by former Blizzard employees who worked on Hearthstone.

Marvel Snap’s announcement comes after a four-year development period. With decks of fifteen cards, players compete against opponents with the aim of collecting ‘cosmic cubes’. Players can ‘snap’ to double their potential rewards. A match lasts about three minutes and there are at least 150 cards to unlock at launch. A ranked mode is also available.

Marvel Snap is coming to mobile devices first and later on PC. The trading card game is free-to-play and is published by Chinese tech company NuVerse, a subsidiary of ByteDance, which also owns the social media platform TikTok.

In 2018, former Hearthstone CEO Ben Brode left Blizzard and started Second Dinner studio with Hamilton Chu, former executive producer of the publisher. A year later it was announced that the developer was working on a Marvel game. The release date is not yet known, but it is possible to get your sign up for the beta for Android.
