The parent com🌄pany of Marvel Snap's developer may be shutting down entirely.

Earlier today, November 27, reported that Bytedance was restructuring its gaming company, Nuverse, in wha꧒t was being described as a "retreat" from the gaming 🧜industry. Four people familiar with the matter told the outlet that Bytedance would look to "wind down" the Nuverse gaming brand.

You might not have heard of Nuverse, but you probably have heard of Marvel Snap. Nuverse is the publisher behind Marvel Snap, while the actual developer of the g🤡a🔜me itself is Second Dinner, the studio formed by former Hearthstone developers like Ben Brode.

Nuverse was first formed back in 2019, and was widely seem as Bytedance's big push into the gaming industry at large. According to the Reuters report, although Marvel Snap has been something of a "cult hit" for Nuverse and Bytedance, it hasn't been a commer𓃲cial hit for either.

This apparently leaves Nuverse's performance since 2019 "patchy," which is likely to be a large factor in Bytedance's alleged decisio🐼n to  step away from gaming and shutter its whole division. Right now, there's been no confirmation from Bytedance or Nuverse of the plans reported by Reuters.

However, there's good news for the Marvel Snap players out there. Second Dinner tweeted earlier tod⭕ay that the game would remain online and "flourish" no matter what happens aꦆt Nuverse. It seems that the developers at Second Dinner are also in the dark as to what's going on with their parent company.

Our original 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Snap review heaped praise on the mobile game at launch, saying it'd "make you feel like a f**king genius."
